Netanyahu's UN Speech: Pager In Hand, Sharp Message To Hezbollah

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pleaded Israel's case at the United Nations General Assembly before an audience of mostly empty seats amid increasing global isolation. During his speech, he brandished a pager while reminding the small gathering about Israel's September 2024 operation against Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon. 

Netanyahu said that "in the last three years," Israeli soldiers have "fought a war on seven fronts." "Do you know of any other country the size of New Jersey that can fight for three years on seven fronts?" he said.
