Withdrawal of Delegations from the United Nations General Assembly before Netanyahu’s Speech.
Netanyahu: Iran was rapidly developing a massive program for nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. He pointed out that the aim of these programs was not only to destroy Israel but also to threaten the United States.
Netanyahu added, “We have eliminated an existential threat to our country and Iran should not be allowed to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.” He affirmed that they have crushed the Houthis and most of Hamas’s terrorist machinery and have crippled Hezbollah.
According to him, they have destroyed Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programs. He noted that remnants of Hamas still exist in the city of Gaza and that they must complete the mission as soon as possible.
Addressing Hamas, he said: “I tell Hamas leaders to surrender your weapons and release all hostages, and if you do not do so, Israel will hunt you down.”
Netanyahu stated, “I want to speak from this platform to the prisoners. We have set up loudspeakers around Gaza. In Hebrew: ‘Our heroic brothers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to you. We have not forgotten you for even a single second.'”
He confirmed that Israel will take control of the Gaza Strip and a civilian authority will be established there. Netanyahu said to world leaders who yield to the pressure of extremist Islamists that they must support Israel.
