Netanyahu says decision to attack Iran was "one of his 'easiest' decisions"

At the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke during a session focused on Gaza, rejecting claims that Israel’s actions there amount to genocide. Several representatives left the chamber as he began, and demonstrators gathered outside beforehand, with some arrests reported by DW. Netanyahu also addressed a decision to attack Iran, describing it as one he did not consider difficult. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, speaking by video, urged support for a two-state solution and criticized both Israel and the United States. After Netanyahu’s address, Iran, Turkey and Qatar used assembly procedures to condemn his remarks.
