Prime Minister Netanyahu launched a sharp attack on European leaders during his UN address Thursday evening, accusing them of choosing 'weakness' by surrendering to 'antisemitic mobs.' He also displayed a Starlink device at the podium, saying the Iranian regime fears nothing more than the Iranian public having internet access and communication with the world, according to Israeli media reports.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a combative address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday evening, taking aim at European leaders whom he accused of surrendering to "antisemitic mobs" and choosing weakness. According to reports from Israeli media, Netanyahu contrasted Israel's defiance with what he described as the capitulation of some Western European nations.
In a separate segment of his speech, Netanyahu displayed a Starlink communication device, asserting that the Iranian regime fears nothing more than the Iranian public having uncensored internet access and the ability to communicate freely with the outside world. The remarks underscored two recurring themes of Netanyahu's UN appearance: criticism of international appeasement of anti-Israel sentiment, and the existential threat posed by Iran's regime to both its own people and regional stability.
The address continues a multi-day New York visit centered on diplomatic outreach and security messaging.
