‘No greater partner than Trump’: Netanyahu defends Iran war as delegates walk out at UNGA
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's military actions against Iran and Hamas during his address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly. He praised US President Donald Trump for his support, calling him "no greater partner" and crediting US-Israeli cooperation for the military campaign. Netanyahu called the decision to strike Iran's nuclear facilities "one of the easiest decisions" he had ever made, as it would have resulted in mass casualties if not carried out.
He described Israel as fighting a "seven-front war" against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, militias, and Palestinian militants, and claimed that Israel's response had successfully crippled its adversaries. Netanyahu also criticized countries like Britain, France, Qatar, and Turkey for spreading false narratives about Israel and accused them of hypocrisy for condemning Israel while harboring Hamas leaders themselves.
