Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attacked the recognition of a Palestinian state by multiple Western countries during a combative speech at the UN General Assembly.
Netanyahu labelled the recognition moves a "mark of shame" that sent the message "murdering Jews pays off".
Dozens of officials and diplomats staged a walk-out as he took to the podium, leaving large parts of the conference hall empty. Outside, protesters against Israel's war in Gaza gathered in Times Square.
Israel has come under huge international pressure over its military action in Gaza, culminating in the UK, France, Canada, Australia and other countries recognising the State of Palestine this week.
In his opening remarks, Netanyahu displayed a map labelled "The Curse" that he said showed Iranian proxy groups across the Middle East. He then highlighted Israeli military operations across the past year against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, and Iran.
He thanked US President Donald Trump for American involvement in bombing Iran's Fordo nuclear site in June, and drew parallels between Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel and the 9/11 attack on the US. He said the two countries were fighting the same enemies, pointing to chants of "death to America" by groups linked to Iran.
The Israeli prime minister repeated that Israel would not allow a Palestinian state to exist and said this position was supported by the vast majority of Israelis.
He went on to refute the conclusion of a UN commission of inquiry that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, claiming the charge was "baseless".
He also rejected statements by multiple UN agencies that Israel is deliberately restricting the amount of aid entering Gaza. In August, a UN-backed body confirmed that famine was taking place in Gaza City.

THEY SHOULD WALK OUT OF THE US AND THE UN SHOULD LEAVE THE US.
Did they “walk” out, or did they goose-step their way out?
I wonder where Palestine is? I wonder what form of government they have? I wonder who their head of state is? I think a treehouse could be recognized by Europe and other crazy countries.
The UN is a useless money dump. Get the heck out. Throw them out of New York City. Watch liberals heads blow up.
Of course the BBC couldn’t be bothered to give a list of the countries that walked out. That means they condone it.
The UN is primarily a bastion of muslim nations.
For us Jews, this ain’t our first rodeo. The world turned its back on us many times. Because of Hashem’s promise to be his eternal people, we’re not going anywhere.
Good for you, Bebe. Tell it like it is. People who walked out don’t want the truth since they’re too busy undermining Israel and keep the conflict ongoing. Plus, those who recognize a pali state are just asking for trouble. Look at the conditions in the UK. If they want to recognize a pali state, then let the surrounding islamic countries which compass land 640 times the size of israel carve out a pali state for their brethren. There is plenty of unused land under their control.
How many times over the years has this been proposed!!!!

Why waste time at UN. Hug your kids and enjoy a great meal together at home.
