Netanyahu: "The genocide accusations are baseless." Boos and empty seats at the UN.

"The accusations of genocide against Israel are baseless . We have asked the residents of Gaza City to leave, we are doing everything possible to avoid harming the residents. Would those who commit genocide behave like this? And they say we are starving the people of Gaza, it's Hamas's fault for stealing food." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this while speaking to the UN General Assembly.

A speech with which the leader of the Jewish state rejected the accusations leveled against his government and the IDF armed forces.

“The Palestinians do not believe in the two-state solution, they do not want a state next to Israel but in place of Israel,” Netanyahu added.

Shortly before the speech began, delegations from many countries left the chamber. Netanyahu's announcement—he appeared at the podium with a QR code attached to his jacket, linking to the website documenting the atrocities of the October 7 attacks—was also met with boos, while a smaller number of delegations responded with applause.

There were numerous interruptions during his speech, during which Netanyahu also reiterated his intention to "finish the job in Gaza as quickly as possible," also issuing an ultimatum to Hamas: "Free the hostages and lay down your weapons. If you do, you will live; if you don't, Israel will hunt you down."
