@canadian.disclosure: During his September 24 address, the Israeli prime minister used the UN chamber as a visual prop, asking delegates to picture the scale of the ballistic missile threat facing Israeli cities. He said a single strike would destroy the compound and that a second would finish off the United Nations. The speech unfolded before a partially empty hall after multiple delegations walked out as Netanyahu took the podium. He called those who left "moral cowards" and invited others who disagreed to leave too, then defended Israel's nearly three-year campaign against Iran and its proxies as a fight it must win because it has no alternative. The warning came amid heightened rhetoric over Iran's missile program. Iran's Revolutionary Guard had recently signaled a shift toward warheads weighing at least one ton, while US and Iranian leaders used the same UN week to trade accusations over nuclear ambitions and regional security. The episode underlined how deeply divided the assembly remains over Israel, Iran, and the future of Middle East stability. #Netanyahu #UNGA2026 #IranMissileThreat #Israel #MiddleEastTensions
