Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a defiant speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, vowing to defeat both Hezbollah and Hamas. He directly warned Iran, the groups' main backer, stating that Israel would retaliate against any attack. Shortly after his address, the Israeli military carried out a strike on Hezbollah's central headquarters in Beirut. The success of the strike is yet to be confirmed.

The increased fighting in Lebanon has some officials fearing an all-out war in the region. The Biden administration has been working to persuade Israel to agree to a 21-day ceasefire proposal crafted by the U.S. and France. The prime minister said Israel would "continue degrading Hezbollah until all our objectives are made" and that Israel "must defeat" them.
Several United Nations delegates walked out of the room as Netanyahu began his address at the U.N. in New York. The prime minister also claimed criticism of Israel's human rights record was unwarranted, saying Israel had helped ship more than adequate supplies of food to Gaza and continued to "spare no effort" to protect civilian lives.
The same report also stated that while Israel has "the knowledge, experience, and tools" to implement "best practices for mitigating civilian harm," the high number of civilian casualties "raises substantial questions about whether the IDF is using them effectively in all cases."
