Read this in the Market Flux appDozens of diplomatic delegates walked out of the UN General Assembly hall the moment Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped to the podium on Thursday, in a visible protest against Israel amid growing international criticism over its conduct in Gaza. Netanyahu responded by calling those who left "moral cowards," asserting that Israel is defending many of their countries.
Netanyahu used the speech to make several pointed gestures and declarations. He held up a pager while referencing Israel's attack on Iran-backed Hezbollah, told Syria's president that Jews have been in the Golan Heights "since the time of Moses," and declared "We're going to win, we have no other choice." He also praised the United States, saying Israel has "no greater partner than Trump" and thanking the president directly.
