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.

Despite early optimism for a pause in hostilities, Netanyahu’s comments—first supporting then tempering expectations—mirror his previous mixed messaging on Gaza.

The situation deteriorated further on Friday, with Israeli strikes killing a family of nine in a Lebanese border village and exchanges of cross-border missile fire continuing.
