First day of United Nations General Assembly highlights criticism of Israel's regional activity
Among the most prominent critics were Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The opening day of the 81st United Nations General Assembly featured world leaders condemning Israel's activities in the Middle East. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank "state terrorism" and accused Israel of using "violence and terrorism" against Palestinians. Jordan's King Abdullah II warned that Israeli measures in the West Bank were effectively making a Palestinian state impossible by expanding settlements and seizing land.
Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani described the situation in Gaza as "genocide in the fullest sense of the word." French President Emmanuel Macron called the situation in Gaza a "shame" and criticized increasing settler violence in the West Bank. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham condemned the October 7 attack and Israel's actions but emphasized the need for cooperation with Israel.
