Israel’s Netanyahu says at UN that attacking Iran was ‘one of the easiest decisions’ he’s ever made

Netanyahu used a pager to highlight Israel’s strike on Hezbollah, which wounded more than 3,000 people and killed 12, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly that attacking Iran "was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make," calling delegates who walked out "moral cowards."
  • The Palestinian Mission to the U.N. had messaged 193 member nations to "collectively walk out of the assembly" once the Israeli leader was announced, prompting the mass exodus during his speech.
  • Netanyahu reminded the assembly of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack, which killed about 1,200 people and involved 251 kidnappings, arguing the scale equaled 40,000 Americans killed in less than 24 hours.
  • Thanking President Donald Trump for acting against Iran, Netanyahu insisted Israel would prevail while referencing the September 2024 pager attack in Lebanon that wounded more than 3,000 people.
  • Abbas urged the international community to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, asserting that Palestinians could live "alongside the state of Israel" in the future.
