Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UNGA was filled with bold claims about Israel’s policies.
But as delegates walked out and with Israeli elections weeks away, was his real audience at the UN, or back home?
Al Jazeera’s @Mohammadfff_ has the latest.
The sound you hear is the noise of 80,000 young people gathered in the Stade de France in Saint-Denis to listen to the encouraging words of the Vicar of Christ himself, Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo XIV drew huge crowds during the first papal visit to France in 18 years. He delivered a message of encouragement to thousands of young people during Mass at the Stade de France.
“I have a country to run and a region to take care of,” says Prime Minister of Barbados @miaamormottley, after being asked why she chose not to be a candidate for UN secretary-general. Mottley cites her obligations to her home country and region, and notes that she’s “not sure that the world wants somebody whose tongue is as heavy as mine.”

Every human being has equal value. Every single one.
At the United Nations General Assembly, I challenged a world that still decides whose lives deserve protection and whose suffering can be ignored.
No race is superior. No people are disposable. Until we honour that truth, "everywhere is war" remains a warning we have failed to heed.
What the world needs now is love, with the courage to confront injustice and defend our shared humanity.
Love and a little kindness. For everyone.
No, Mr. President. We should not “annihilate” the people of Iran.
That is a war crime. That is barbarism. And it is something the United States must never be associated with.
Let’s be clear: Trump’s war in Iran is illegal and unconstitutional. Congress must end it NOW.
Just imagine for a moment if the Iranian president stood up at the UN, imagine if Ahmadinejad had come to the UNGA, and said: “Do I annihilate the Jewish state, and do it quickly? Do I drive Israel into hell?”
Imagine the Western and global and media response and outcry.
🇵🇸🇬🇧“But this does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank. Far too many people have died, including so many children. Far too little aid is getting in, and it has gone on for far too long.
We will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution, the best hope for peace and stability for both nations, comes under attack.
Last month, Israel issued tenders for the construction of the E1 Mega settlement, which would drive a wedge through the West Bank and threaten to put a viable Palestinian state beyond reach. It cannot be allowed to happen. So we have acted by banning trade and goods with illegal settlements, recognizing that the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory is unlawful, and sanctioning those taking part in the construction of illegal settlements.
If we were to continue to talk about the two-state solution, but fail to back those words with deeds, that trust will fall even lower, and our enemies will seek to exploit the alienation that follows from that. We won’t let it happen.”

🇵🇸 🇦🇴 “We condemn the genocide against defenceless populations, the elderly, women, children, bedridden patients, health professionals, journalists, and workers of international humanitarian organisations who are often deprived of access to most basic human rights and to essential goods for life such as water, food, and medicines.
The expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and lands through the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank must elicit the strongest international outrage and condemnation.”

Canada’s support for a two-state solution is longstanding and resolute.
Today, alongside the United Kingdom, France, and Saudi Arabia, we brought partners together at the UN to discuss how we can create the conditions for a lasting peace — where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in safety and dignity.

🚨🇫🇷 BREAKING — President Macron:
“Sovereignty for Lebanon.
Sovereignty for Palestine.
It Is Shameful. Shame on All of Us.
We Recognize Palestine (some very cynically) — Yet It Has No Sovereignty — There is No Peace.”
The Palestinian Delegation Broke Out in Applause.
🇵🇸 🇯🇴 “It is time to see what is happening for what it really is. Because when the language is sanitised, the actions become normalised.
What is unfolding across the West Bank is not a series of isolated acts. It is elements of a single policy to compel an entire population to leave their land.
And there is a name for that: forced displacement. And that is a war crime.”
