Your support makes all the difference.Watch again as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly on Friday (27 September).
The Israeli Prime Minister’s speech came as hopes for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, driven by a US-led initiative, faded following conflicting statements from Netanyahu.
