UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Surrounded by critics and protesters at the United Nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told fellow world leaders on Friday that his nation “must finish the job” against Hamas in Gaza, giving a defiant speech despite growing international isolation over his refusal to end the devastating war. “Western leaders may have buckled under the pressure,” he said. “And I guarantee you one thing: Israel won’t.”
Netanyahu’s speech, aimed as much at his increasingly divided domestic audience as the global one, began after dozens of delegates from multiple nations walked out of the U.N. General Assembly hall en masse Friday as he began.

Dozens of UN diplomats storm out of the General Assembly to protest Netanyahu’s speech.
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN @dannydanon took to X to slam the diplomats saying:
“Go and don't come back.
Leaving the hall is an escape from the truth. We will not remain silent! ” pic.twitter.com/A1pdlHoH4U— Oli London (@OliLondonTV) September 26, 2025
Netanyahu is right. There is no point trying to appease Israel’s enemies.
They could withdraw from Gaza even all of Israel and the Muslims with their useful idiot allies would still murder them.
