Benjamin Netanyahu says "one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make" about Iran strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, telling assembled leaders that approving the strike on Iran required little deliberation. As he approached the rostrum, the hall erupted with cheers, jeers and a large walkout that left many seats empty, and he rebuked the departing delegates as morally cowardly. He cited Israel's operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack, and thanked President Donald Trump for acting against Iran. His remarks followed a prerecorded address by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who was denied a U.S. visa, and came amid Israel's growing isolation over the Gaza war.
