UN Walkout Aftershock: Israel Bombs Gaza, Over 66,000 Dead – Global Outrage Grows!

Reported by Fasesan Marian opeyemi | Sele Media Africa

Just a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial walkout from the United Nations General Assembly, Israel has continued its air and ground assault on the Gaza Strip, drawing further international condemnation.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 66,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began in October 2023. [1] Meanwhile, Israeli counts place the death toll in Israel from October 7, 2023, at roughly 1,200. [2]

During his UN address, Netanyahu rejected genocide allegations leveled at his military operations in Gaza, stating that Israel is actively trying to minimize civilian casualties and accusing critics of distorting the truth. [3]

Yet, critics note that many hall seats were empty as he spoke a symbolic gesture of global protest. [4]
