Netanyahu condemned Western nations for recognizing Palestinian statehood during his United Nations address Friday. The Israeli leader accused global powers of surrendering to antisemitic pressure while speaking to a largely empty assembly hall. Many delegates walked out when he began his remarks. He rejected international criticism of the Gaza conflict as political warfare against Israel.
The prime minister ordered military speakers to broadcast his speech into Gaza, addressing hostages directly. He vowed to continue fighting until Hamas faces complete destruction despite mounting international calls for peace. Trump administration officials have presented a different approach through a 21-point ceasefire plan. The proposal demands hostage release within 48 hours and includes phased Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza.
