Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed countries like France, Australia, Canada, and the UK that recognised the State of Palestine last week as the Israel-Hamas war nears three years. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, he blamed Hamas for the starvation in Gaza, where over 65,500 Palestinians have been killed since the war on October 7, 2023.
“Israel must finish the job against Hamas in Gaza,” he said, as dozens walked out of the assembly hall and many protested outside the UN headquarters in New York.
