Benjamin Netanyahu rebutted on Friday what he called “the false charge of genocide,” branding as ‘disgraceful’ the wave of global recognitions of the State of Palestine.

“Behind closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly condemn us privately thank us,” he claimed in his address at the UN General Assembly. “They tell me how much they value Israel’s superb intelligence services that have prevented, time and again, terrorist attacks in their capitals.”

“Much of the world no longer remembers October 7. But we remember,” Netanyahu said. Speaking in Hebrew, he directed his remarks to the hostages still held in Gaza: “We’ve not forgotten you - not even for a second.”

Netanyahu also slammed the decision by France, Britain and other Western powers which recognized the State Palestine, saying that “Israel will not allow you to shove a terrorist state down our throats.”
