Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unleashed a scathing rebuke against delegates who staged a mass walkout before his address at the United Nations General Assembly, labeling them “moral cowards” and hypocrisy personified. As dozens of international representatives streamed out of the hall, Netanyahu seized the moment, declaring, “if there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall, please do so now,” drawing cheers from the remaining attendees. He then pivoted to Israel’s existential struggle, revealing the immense difficulty, yet absolute necessity, of neutralizing Iran’s nuclear capabilities, stating, “if we hadn’t done it, we’d all be dead.” Netanyahu highlighted the irony that many nations whose delegates were protesting had privately thanked Israel for this decisive action, calling it “mind-blowing hypocrisy.” He passionately defended Israel’s ongoing fight on “seven fronts” against a coalition of Iranian-backed groups aiming for its annihilation, emphasizing that Israel’s survival is a bulwark for global civilization against “barbarians.” Addressing protesters outside and the departed delegates, he questioned their silence on Iranian atrocities against its own people and the persecution of minorities, branding them “phony human rights protesters.” Netanyahu also lauded former President Donald Trump for his “bold leadership” in confronting the Iranian threat, asserting that their joint actions saved civilization. He further identified an “eighth front” in the “war for truth,” waged in global media and social media, and directly challenged critics like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom he accused of anti-Semitism and attempting to silence him, proclaiming, “You can’t silence the truth.”
