‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Jordan of "slandering" ‘Israel’ from the podium of the United Nations.
The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to King Abdullah II’s address at the UN General Assembly, where the Jordanian monarch voiced strong criticism regarding ‘Israel's’ military actions, humanitarian devastation, and long-standing occupation.
Addressing the public directly, Netanyahu targeted domestic political rival Avigdor Lieberman alongside his grievances against Jordan.
The Prime Minister slammed proposal talks suggesting security arrangements involving Jordan, forcefully declaring: "The day after Jordan slandered Israel on the UN stage, Lieberman comes and proposes handing over control over significant parts of Judea and Samaria to the Jordanian army."
Defending ‘Israel’s’ ongoing occupation of the West Bank, Netanyahu doubled down on territorial control, warning against relinquishing buffer areas.
He argued that giving up oversight would place strategic regions within firing range: "These are areas that overlook the approaches to Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, and Tel Aviv," he stated.

Netanyahu’s fiery reaction highlights the growing rift between ‘Israel’s’ right-wing government and Jordan, a nation that remains a staunch defender of Palestinian sovereignty.
King Abdullah II has consistently used international forums to hold ‘Israel’ accountable for escalating tensions, emphasizing that true regional stability cannot exist while millions of Palestinians remain under military occupation.
Refusing to engage with the core humanitarian concerns raised by Amman, Netanyahu instead pivoted to political attacks at home.
He called the proposed cooperation with Jordan "simply unbelievable," attempting to paint political rivals who support diplomatic engagement as compromised.
He accused Lieberman of political inconsistency, claiming, "Lieberman, as we said, talks Right but acts Left. Now he is also talking Left."
