Netanyahu Uses UN Address to Criticise Several Governments

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised the United Kingdom, France and Turkey during what NDTV described as a fiery speech at the United Nations. The supplied report gives no details of the specific objections he raised against the three countries. It identifies the comments as part of Netanyahu’s address but does not provide responses from the governments named.

During the speech, Netanyahu also held up a pager. NDTV described it as resembling devices that Israeli intelligence reportedly engineered with explosives before they were shipped to operatives of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The available material does not provide further information about the devices, the alleged operation or when it took place.

It also does not state what message Netanyahu intended to convey by displaying the pager. The address took place at the United Nations, but the supplied account contains no additional detail about its other themes or the reactions of delegates. As a result, the report supports only a summary of Netanyahu’s criticism of the three governments and his decision to display the device during the speech.
