Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery speech at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, dismissing accusations of genocide in Gaza as “the biggest lie of the century.”
Netanyahu’s address was marked by drama even before he began speaking. As he walked to the rostrum, the chamber erupted in a mix of cheers, boos, and mass walkouts. Scores of delegates marched out, leaving many seats visibly empty during his remarks.
Raising his voice for emphasis, Netanyahu defended Israel’s military actions and asserted his nation’s right to wage war against Iran, calling the decision to strike Tehran “one of the easiest I’ve ever had to make.” He lashed out at delegates who walked out, branding them “moral cowards.”
The speech underscored Israel’s defiance amid mounting international criticism over its Gaza campaign. While Netanyahu rejected genocide claims, rights groups and several UN members have accused Israel of disproportionate force and humanitarian violations.
The incident highlights the deep divisions at the UN over the Middle East conflict, with Israel’s allies backing its security concerns while critics demand accountability for civilian casualties.
