Netanyahu, boicoteado en la ONU, critica el reconocimiento de Palestina

Overview

  • Dozens of delegations left the General Assembly and some booed as the Israeli prime minister spoke to a visibly emptied hall.
  • Netanyahu vowed to "finish the work" in Gaza, called recognizing a Palestinian state "madness" and "a national suicide," and dismissed genocide allegations as false.
  • He addressed hostages by name from the podium and promised to bring them home, urging Hamas to release all 48 captives to end the war.
  • Israel broadcast the speech into Gaza using truck-mounted loudspeakers, and Netanyahu claimed it was pushed to phones; Israeli media reported officers derided the move as psychological warfare.
  • With more than 150 UN members now recognizing Palestine, several states skipped or exited the session; reports said Argentina stayed on President Javier Milei’s orders, while Spain’s delegation was absent.
