Trump defends Israel and vows Iran will never have nuclear weapon

Key Points:

• At the U.N. General Assembly, Gaza dominated discussions with world leaders accusing Israel of displacing Palestinians and undermining peace prospects, while French President Emmanuel Macron controversially claimed Hamas was never active in the West Bank.
• Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon and U.S. officials sharply rebuked Macron’s remarks, highlighting Hamas’ history of lethal attacks in the West Bank and accusing him of being out of touch with reality.
• U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres condemned Israel’s military response in Gaza as unprecedented in scale, drawing criticism for perceived uneven attention compared to other conflicts like Sudan’s civil war.
• Jordan’s King Abdullah II accused Israel of committing war crimes through forced displacement in the West Bank and destruction in Gaza, while praising former President Trump’s peace efforts but faulting Israel’s current policies.
• Former President Donald Trump delivered a forceful defense of Israel and criticized Iran’s nuclear ambitions, contrasting with other leaders like Brazil’s Lula da Silva and Turkey’s Erdoğan who condemned Israel’s actions and compared Gaza’s situation to historical atrocities.
