He Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu He warned in his speech against opening of the debate before the UN General Assembly this Friday in Iran, theocracy that finances the terrorist groups that strike this countrythat “If you attack us, we will attack you”. “There is no place in Iran where the long arm of Israel cannot reach”Netanyahu, who assured Iran, which finances the Hamas terrorist group, that “far from being lambs to be slaughtered, Israel will retaliate,” Netanyahu explained this Friday in New York at the UN headquarters, and added : “We are winning”. ” Regarding the Lebanese Shiite terrorist groupfounded and financed by Tehran, Hezbollah, declared that it was “the terrorist organization par excellence in the world today”. Netanyahu spoke before the plenary session as his country wages a five-front war against Iran’s top proxies, the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip, the Hezbollah terrorist group in southern Lebanon, terrorist groups from Syria, Iraq and Iran itself, who for the first time directly attacked Israel with long-range missiles and drones on April 13.
Netanyahu told the plenary session of the UN General Assembly that he had not initially planned to visit New York, due to his country’s war on five fronts. Instead, he explained that he felt compelled to tell the world the “truth” about Israel. Israel, he stressed, lies between “the curse of Iran or the blessing of historical normalization between Arabs and Jews“.
For your explanation, Benjamin Nentanyahu used two cards: one that showed what he described as Iran’s aggressive long arm and another that revealed the regional potential for expanding Arab-Israeli relations. One card was titled “the curse” and the other, “the blessing”in reference to the fact that the massacre of Hamas in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 was designed by Iran, Shiite, to boycott the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Sunni, one of the great rivals of Tehran in the region.
“Iranian aggression will endanger all countries in the Middle East and many countries in the rest of the world”“, said Netanyahu, who stressed that “for too long the world has appeased Iran and turned a blind eye to its internal oppression and external aggression.”
Benjamin Netanyahu called on Hamas to release the remaining 101 hostages and pledged not to end the war in Gaza until it does so. “Whatever needs to happen” to end the war in Gaza”is for Hamas to surrender, lay down its arms and release all the hostages“.
“If they do not do it, we will fight until total victory, there is no substitute,” he stressed in front of a small group of relatives of the hostages who had come to the podium to listen. the speech.
“Hamas must go”said Netanyahu, who already after the terrorist attack had promised to end the terrorist group. “Imagine, for those who say Hamas must remain, must be part of a post-war Gaza – imagine in a post-war situation – during World War II, imagine allowing the Nazis defeated in 1945 to rebuild Germany.”
Benjamin Netanyahu was received with lively applause by the Israeli delegationas the Iranian delegation walked out as they headed to the podium to protest the Likud leader. Iran does not maintain diplomatic relations with the United States, but its diplomats are allowed to have representation in New York at the United Nations. Washington does not allow them to travel outside of Manhattan, where the United Nations headquarters is located in the east of the island.
