Netanyahu's Address Highlights Middle East Focus at UN
Prime Minister Emphasizes Regional Issues in Speech
Focus on Hostilities and Captives
In his address to the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed a spotlight on the Middle East region. Netanyahu brandished a map of Israel in 1948 to illustrate historical boundaries, drawing critical responses from some observers.
"Netanyahu is continuing a pointless war and delaying a deal to free hostages including my sister. I won't be his cheerleader," said a statement from Palestinian Ambassador to Germany, Laith Arafeh. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions and the difficulty in reaching a lasting peace agreement.
