In a bold address at the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed international calls for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza. He characterized the UN as an "antisemitic swamp" and asserted that Israel is "winning" its battles on multiple fronts. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would persist in its efforts to "degrade" Hezbollah, effectively turning down proposals for a 21-day ceasefire along the Lebanese border. These proposals had received support from both the United States and France and were developed in close coordination with the Israeli government. The prime minister's remarks reflect a firm stance against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the region, as he reiterated Israel's commitment to its military objectives despite global appeals for peace.
