Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered a defiant address at the United Nations General Assembly, defending Israel’s military campaigns in Gaza, Iran and across West Asia while pushing back against mounting international criticism. His speech was met with a visible walkout by dozens of UN delegates, underscoring the deep divisions surrounding Israel’s ongoing wars and its policies in the region. Netanyahu insisted that Israel would continue fighting and declared that the country has “no other choice” but to win, directly confronting nations and critics accusing Israel of escalating the conflict. He also addressed the growing international pressure over the Gaza war and hit back at those challenging Israel’s military actions. WATCH

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a bombshell claim that Iran tried to assassinate one of his sons. Speaking to Israeli television, Netanyahu said Iran had targeted one of his sons and attempted to kill him. However, he did not reveal which son was allegedly targeted, when the attempt took place or how the alleged plot was carried out. Netanyahu has two sons, Yair and Avner, and both have been subject to heightened security arrangements. In July, Israel's Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs approved extended personal protection for Netanyahu's wife Sara and their two sons.
