Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, from the podium of the United Nations, threatened Iran on Friday to “hit it” in the event of an attack on his country and promised to continue its wars in Gaza against Palestinian Hamas and in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: if you hit us, we will hit you,” Mr. Netanyahu said in the direction of Tehran, the black beast of Israel, support of the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah, in a hawkish speech and without concession, sometimes applauded by his supporters and families of hostages from Gaza, and sometimes booed.
“There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach,” he insisted before the General Assembly gathered for this “high-level week” in New York during which Israel been the target of numerous speeches against his military campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon.
A number of delegates and diplomats, particularly from Arab and Muslim countries, such as the Lebanese and Palestinian delegations, left the room upon his arrival.
“Responsible for genocide”
Commenting on a video on his general.
He accused him of being “responsible for genocide, ethnic cleansing and colonization and his government for killing the largest number of children, aid workers, UN employees and journalists in recent history in a single year.”
“My country is at war, fighting for its survival. But after hearing the lies and slander against my country by many speakers at this podium, I decided to come and reestablish the truth,” insisted Mr. Netanyahu on the contrary.
After almost a year of war in the Gaza Strip against the Palestinian Islamist movement, the head of the Israeli government urged “Hamas [à] leave ».
He called on him to “lay down his arms” in the small Palestinian territory ravaged by the Israeli offensive and the fighting, in order to “end the war”.
“Shameless lies”
“This war can end. All Hamas has to do is surrender, lay down their arms and release the hostages,” the Israeli prime minister said. ” If [les combattants du Hamas] do not, we will fight until we achieve victory, total victory. There is no alternative,” he warned.
In response, the Palestinian Sunni Islamist group criticized in a statement Benjamin Netanyahu’s “blatant lies” and “his threats against the people of the region, while continuing his cycle of crimes to include [le] Lebanon.”
This small country in the north of Israel is bombarded by the army, which says it is targeting the pro-Iranian Shiite group Hezbollah. The Jewish state will continue until “all” war aims are met, thundered the 74-year-old Israeli leader.
Defiantly, he did not say a word about the international proposal led by the United States and France for a 21-day ceasefire.
“As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no other choice, and Israel has the right to end this threat and return its citizens home in safety,” he said. declared.
At the end of a 35-minute speech, the Israeli Prime Minister on the international scene, apart mainly from his American military and diplomatic ally, attacked the United Nations, with which relations are execrable.
“I tell you, until Israel, until the Jewish state, is treated like other nations, until this anti-Semitic swamp is dried up, the UN will be considered by people just as nothing more than a contemptuous joke,” he said.
