Netanyahu vows to 'finish job' in Gaza during UN speech as delegates walk out

Source: The Guardian



Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to “finish the job” in Gaza and said that the recognition of a Palestinian state was “insane” as delegations walked out of his address to the United Nations.

Just days after the UK, France, Canada, Australia, and other countries broke with the United States to recognise an independent Palestinian state, Netanyahu called a two-state solution “sheer madness. It’s insane, and we won’t do it.”

“Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7 is like giving al-Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11,” he said. Now 157 of 193 UN member states recognise Palestine as an independent state.

More than 100 diplomats from more than 50 countries walked out as Netanyahu entered the hall, according to a tally by the Washington Post.

Bibi is as much a pariah as the trumpster fire. These other countries need to put harsh measures on his sadistic head.

The path Israel is on will guarantee violent payback for generations.

They can't wait to build that chump resort in Gaza.
