Netanyahu defends Israel's military actions at U.N. and criticizes bias against the country
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's military actions in Gaza and Lebanon during a speech at the U.N. General Assembly. He criticized the U.N. for its perceived bias against Israel and labeled it a "house of darkness." Netanyahu's remarks came amid ongoing protests in New York, where demonstrators called for an end to the war and the release of hostages. He emphasized Israel's commitment to fighting Hezbollah and Iran, stating, "We will fight until we achieve total victory." The situation in Gaza and Lebanon remains dire, with significant casualties and displacement reported. Recent U.N. resolutions condemning Israel's actions have been largely ignored, and tensions between Israel and the international community continue to escalate.
