UN diplomats exit as Israeli PM Netanyahu defends IDF's military campaigns

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was met with international backlash at the United Nations, facing walkouts from diplomats just before his speech. Netanyahu, visibly shaken, stood silent as delegates exited and later addressed the assembly, positioned alongside maps to highlight his government's military campaign against Hamas, Houthi rebels, Hezbollah, and Syrian forces. Despite the disruption, Netanyahu boasted of Israel’s recent strikes against what he called “Iran’s terror axis.” The dramatic scenes underscore deepening global divisions over Israel’s actions in the region.
