On the same day Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the 80th UN General Assembly, Israeli forces killed at least 51 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn, underscoring the brutality of the Zionist regime’s ongoing genocide even as its prime minister used the UN podium to threaten new wars.

Why it matters:

The killing of dozens of Palestinians during Netanyahu’s UN speech highlights the regime’s dual strategy: massacres on the ground in Gaza while issuing open threats against other nations from the world stage. It underscores how the genocide and warmongering go hand in hand— and how Western silence enables both.

 

The big picture:

Since October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime has killed at least 65,549 Palestinians and wounded 167,518 in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Beyond Gaza, the regime continues to attack the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, while openly threatening Iran. Now, Netanyahu has added Iraq’s resistance forces to the list of targets, widening the scope of the regime’s declared war agenda across the region.

 

What he's saying:

Netanyahu claimed at the 80th UN General Assembly that the Israeli regime destroyed Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programs, insisting that Iran’s goal is not only to eliminate the Zionist regime but also to threaten the United States.

He boasted that the regime suppressed the Houthis, eliminated a large part of Hamas, and crippled Hezbollah.

From the UN podium, he explicitly threatened that militias (popular mobilized forces known as PMU) in Iraq would be eliminated.

Netanyahu repeated his threats to bomb Iran’s enrichment facilities and declared that the Security Council must restore sanctions.

He also vowed that there would never be a Palestinian state, described any such plan near occupied Al-Quds as madness, and called the Palestinian Authority corrupt despite its cooperation with the occupation.
