Netanyahu tells UN his country has crushed Hamas’s ‘terror machine’

# Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly his country has “crushed the bulk” of armed Palestinian group Hamas’s “terror machine” and sought to finish the job “as fast as possible.” Netanyahu celebrated what he said was a series of Israeli strategic victories in the past year that also included targeting Iran’s nuclear programme and assassinating the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon. Netanyahu told hostages that he will not rest until they bring all of them home. He also told Hamas to lay down their weapons.
