US EditionNetanyahu Rebukes West over Palestinian State, Says Israel Won't Commit 'National Suicide'
Netanyahu accused Western nations of yielding to biased pressure while Israel faces international criticism over the Gaza conflict and growing recognition of Palestinian statehood.
- This year, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, pushing back against diplomatic moves as scores of delegates exited and balcony attendees gave him a standing ovation.
- This year, several Western countries moved to recognise a Palestinian state, including France, Britain, Australia and Canada, after Hamas's October 7 rampage praised by nearly 90% of the Palestinian population.
- Hamas-Led fighters killed about 1,200 people, and local health officials say Israel's military response has killed more than 65,000 in Gaza, with about 20 hostages believed alive of 48.
- Under mounting pressure from hostages' families and the Israeli public, Netanyahu will visit the White House on Monday after talks with US President Donald Trump, retaining US support while fearing far-right ministers' backlash.
- Full UN membership would still require Security Council approval, where the United States holds a veto, and Netanyahu's office said loudspeakers at the Gaza border aimed to preserve the two-state solution.
