Netanyahu defies calls for a cease-fire at the U.N., as Israel strikes Lebanon
Briefly

In a fiery speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu proclaimed Israel is 'winning' and committed to attacking Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, while many delegates publicly snubbed him by leaving the hall.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas criticized Israeli military actions, accusing it of exploiting the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack to commit genocidal war crimes, highlighting a growing divide at the U.N.
Netanyahu insisted on setting the record straight against what he described as 'lies and slanders' against Israel, asserting Israel's desire for peace and its history of making peace.
Despite widespread condemnation, Netanyahu affirmed Israel's military actions are in self-defense against militant groups, denying allegations of committing genocide or war crimes in the conflict.
