Netanyahu Faces Walkout at UN, Calls Delegates Cowards

On September 24, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experienced a significant walkout at the United Nations General Assembly, with numerous delegates leaving shortly after he began his speech. This protest was in response to increasing international criticism regarding Israel's military operations in Gaza and its actions in the occupied West Bank.

Netanyahu, addressing those who remained, challenged them by stating, “If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall, please do so now.” He staunchly defended Israel's military actions, asserting that the country had no alternative but to continue its fight for survival. Netanyahu dismissed accusations of genocide in Gaza, claiming, “Israel didn’t commit genocide.

Israel prevented genocide.” He also discussed Israel's military strikes against Iranian facilities, describing the decision to attack Iran as “one of the easiest decisions” he had made, crediting US-Israeli cooperation and praising former President Donald Trump for his “bold leadership.”.
