Netanyahu Shows 2 Maps At UNGA To Woo Arab Nations Amid Iran’s Call For ‘United Muslim Attack’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue Israel's attacks on Iranian-backed fighters during his first speech at the UN General Assembly after the Gaza war, Reuters reported. He displayed two maps, showing a group of countries as "The Curse" and another as "The Blessing", but both the maps showed Palestinian territories – the West Bank and Gaza -- as part of Israel.

Netanyahu said the world must choose between a "blessing" and a "curse". Countries which were shown as "blessings" on the map include Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and India.

"As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice, and Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely," he said, adding, "Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, I've come here today to say enough is enough."
