A tense exchange unfolded at the United Nations as Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, reportedly approached Iran’s representative with an offer to help provide Iranians with access to Starlink. Danon said the Iranian people deserve access to information amid what he described as intensified censorship and an information blackout imposed by Iran’s government. The remarks come after deadly unrest in Iran and growing international attention over internet restrictions, access to information, and the treatment of anti-government protesters. The claims regarding the number of protesters killed and the circumstances surrounding the crackdown remain politically contested and should be independently verified.

00:01I thought it's appropriate to give you the Starlink, if you heard the Prime Minister.
00:05It can be very useful for you to allow the Iranian people to get their freedom after what you did
00:11to them.
00:12So you want to take it and deliver it back to Tehran?
00:16It can be very useful for you in Iran.
00:19We love the Iranian people and we pray for the regime change there.
00:23It will come that day.

00:54Good evening.
00:55Good evening.
01:20Order in the hall please.
01:28I request an order in the hall, please.
01:35I request an order in the hall, please.
01:46Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement.
01:55If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now.
02:01Thank you very much.
02:09Ladies and gentlemen, 14 years ago, I stood on this podium and I drew a red line.
02:20I vowed to prevent Iran's murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs, nuclear weapons
02:31aimed at destroying Israel, nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world.
02:39That's exactly what we did.
02:42Now, let me say something that might surprise you.
02:49Devastating Iran's nuclear facilities was hard.
02:54It was very hard to do.
02:58But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make as prime minister.
03:06Because if we hadn't done it, we'd all be dead.
03:12Now you want to hear the ultimate irony?
03:15In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just
03:24left this hall.
03:26In fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking
03:35out Iran's nukes.
03:38It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that's exactly what it is.
03:45Now this isn't the first time we are faced with the threat of annihilation.
03:50On June 5, 1967, Israel was surrounded by enemies who openly swore to destroy us.
04:01We weren't then in Judea-Samaria, the heart of the historic homeland of the Jewish people.
04:08We weren't in Gaza.
04:11We weren't on the Golan Heights.
04:13Oh, and Mr. Oshara, you should know the Jews have been on the Golan Heights since the days
04:18of Moses.
04:19You can read it in the Bible.
04:26No, at that time, on the eve of the Six-Day War in 1967, we weren't in any of these
04:31places.
04:31We were in a tiny sliver of land.
04:34We still are.
04:35That is equal to about one-third of one percent of the land mass of the entire Arab world.
04:45Yet they accuse Israel, tiny Israel, of colonialism.
04:51Some colonialism.
04:53And who's accusing us?
04:55Well, among them are people in Britain and in France.
05:00For God's sakes, they invented the term, their colonies, braced the entire globe, colonialism.
05:09Give us a break.
05:11Another lie.
05:13Yet at the time, on this tiny patch of earth, no West Bank, no Gaza, no Golan Heights.
05:25Just the very survival of this one and only Jewish state, because this is what this conflict
05:30is about.
05:31It's not about territories.
05:33It's about the existence of a Jewish state at any boundaries.
05:36And yet, at the time, right at that time, we were threatened with annihilation by three
05:43Arab armies that were about to invade us.
05:47You know what Israelis were doing at the time?
05:51They were digging mass graves in preparation for the thousands and thousands of casualties
05:59in preparation to bury our dead.
06:03At the time, I was an Israeli high school student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
06:09Five days before the war broke out, I flew back to Israel.
06:14I found a country in total blackout.
06:18Israel braced for impact.
06:21I flew back to see my brother Jonathan, Yonatan, Yoni.
06:29He was a 21-year-old paratroop officer.
06:32And like the rest of the army, his unit was already mobilized.
06:39I went to find him.
06:40I was told the paratroops are encamped in the orchards, the orange groves around Ramleh.
06:48So I went there.
06:50And I asked some soldiers, do you know where Yoni Netanyahu is?
06:56Nope.
06:56Nope.
06:57Then one guy said, oh, you mean the young guy?
07:01Yeah, he's in the next grove.
07:03So I went there.
07:05And suddenly, at the end of a long row of trees, I saw my brother.
07:12He was absolutely shocked to see me.
07:15BB said, BB, what are you doing here?
07:18We ran.
07:19We hugged each other.
07:21And over a cup of makeshift military coffee, I asked him the question that was on my mind,
07:30the question that was on everybody's mind.
07:34So Yoni, I said, what's going to happen?
07:40He paused.
07:42And then he said something I'll never forget.
07:47We're going to win, he said.
07:50We have no other choice.
07:54I remember those words as if it was yesterday.
07:59We're going to win.
08:00We have no other choice.
08:13And when we did, nine years later, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a passenger airplane headed
08:23for Israel.
08:25They took it to Entebbe, Uganda.
08:29Like the Nazis, the terrorists selected the Jewish passengers, men, women, children, babies.
08:38They threatened to kill them all if Israel did not release Palestinian terrorists.
08:46And then on July 4th, 1976, the Bicentennial of the United States, in one of the most dramatic
09:01rescue missions in modern times, Yoni led his brave soldiers to the heart of Africa.
09:09Miraculously, they rescued 103 Jewish hostages and brought them all home, every single one
09:18of them.
09:23disponible within six years.
09:32Thanks verdadeira.
