Both the maps showed Palestinian territories—the West Bank and Gaza—as part of Israel. This was his first speech at the United Nations since the Gaza war. Several delegates staged a walkout as the Israeli PM began his speech.
The Israeli prime minister drew a direct link between “The Curse” and Iranian allies. Meanwhile, other countries marked in green included Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia, representing Israel’s allies or potential allies.
