Netanyahu at UN: 'Think what 1,000 ballistic missiles falling from the sky on your homes means'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Thursday the UN General Assembly, attacked Qatar, Turkey and elected New York Mayor Emmadani, and stated that Israel did not commit genocide but prevented genocide.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Thursday the UN General Assembly. When he took the stage, many representatives left the chamber and simultaneously chants of 'Am Israel Chai' were heard, and according to the report, the UAE's representative remained in the chamber along with representatives from 122 other countries, including Britain, France and the United States.

On the attack on Iran, Netanyahu said: 'Bombing Iran's nuclear facilities was a difficult mission, but for me it was among the easiest decisions I made as prime minister.' On the October 7 massacre, he said that 1,200 dead is 'equivalent to the death of 40,000 Americans in 24 hours,' and then held up a pager before the assembly and said: 'Remember them? Hezbollah certainly remembers.' On ballistic missiles, he said to the representatives: 'Think what 1,000 ballistic missiles falling from the sky on your homes means.'

Netanyahu said that 'there is an eighth front in the war,' the front for truth, and that 'several countries have wasted billions spreading lies about my country,' the first being Qatar. According to him, 'the new country that has become a spreader of antisemitic lies is Turkey,' and on its president he said: 'Erdogan is a tyrant, he also hosts Hamas murderers.' To elected New York Mayor Emmadani, he said: 'You will not silence me and you will not silence the truth.'

Netanyahu further stated: 'Israel did not commit genocide, Israel prevented genocide.' Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar wrote on X that this was a 'warning speech by the prime minister presenting our truth, of Israel, in the house of lies of the UN,' and Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said that 'Prime Minister Netanyahu put the truth on the table.'
