From the Daily Wire:

Netanyahu began by highlighting Israeli military successes against Hamas, Hezbollah, the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis in Yemen, and, above all, Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Referring to Hezbollah, he quipped, “Remember those beepers? We paged Hezbollah and believe me, they got the message,” alluding to an operation in which Israeli intelligence rigged pagers as explosives.

Referring to a pin on his suit, he suggested, “Ladies and gentlemen, much of the world no longer remembers October 7, but we remember. Israel remembers October 7. On that day, well, I’ll tell you, you can remember October 7, too. See this large pin here? It’s a QR code. What I ask you to do is hold up your phones, zoom in, and you too will see why we fight and why we must win.”

“Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to do something I’ve never done before: I want to speak from this forum directly to those hostages through loudspeakers,” he told the audience. “I’ve surrounded Gaza with massive loudspeakers connected to this microphone in the hope that our dear hostages will hear me. And I’ll say it first in Hebrew and then in English. Our brave heroes, this is Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking to you live from the United Nations. We have not forgotten you, not even for a second. The people of Israel are with you. We will not falter and we will not rest until we bring you all of you home.”

After addressing the hostages, Netanyahu also addressed the captors, calling on them to lay down their weapons and free their prisoners. He even said that, thanks to special “efforts by Israeli intelligence,” his words were being streamed live to Gazan cellphones.

The Prime Minister then turned his attention to the nations represented in the audience. He pointed out that, while many supported Israel in the days immediately October 7, they later changed their tune. Netanyahu said, “For much of the past two years, Israel has had to fight a seven-front war against barbarism, with many of your nations opposing us.”

Netanyahu did acknowledge the support of the United States in Israel’s fight against terror, crediting the Trump administration with “forcefully fighting the scourge of antisemitism.” He then returned to the other nations, criticizing them for supporting Palestinian statehood. According to Netanyahu, those pushing for a Palestinian state are “giving the ultimate reward to intolerant fanatics who perpetrated and supported the October 7 massacre.”

The Prime Minister concluded his speech by pointing toward hope in God, saying, “On October 7, the enemies of Israel tried to extinguish that light. Two years later, the resolve of Israel and the strength of Israel burn brighter than ever. With God’s help, that strength and that resolve will lead us to a speedy victory and to a brilliant future of prosperity and peace. Thank you very much.”
