Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a warning to Iran.
Speaking on Friday at the UN General Assembly, he warned that Israel will strike if it is hit by Iran.
He also warned that his country can reach any part of the cleric-run state as he vowed to fight on in Gaza.
“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran. If you strike us, we will strike you,” Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly.
“There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach, and that’s true of the entire Middle East.”
Delegates, including from Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, exited the room as Netanyahu took the rostrum for his address amid a mix of cheers and angry yells.
“After I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight,” Netanyahu said at the start of his speech.
Ahead of his speech, protesters gathered outside Netanyahu’s hotel in New York to demand an end to the violence in Gaza and Lebanon.
