The resolute response of Iceland's foreign minister to Netanyahu's rhetoric at the UN

The Foreign Minister of Iceland, Gunnarsdor, said in his speech at the UN General Assembly in response to the Prime Minister of Israel:

"We heard the words 'moral cowards' from this platform. In my opinion, moral cowards are those world leaders who refuse to sit at the negotiating table for a just and sustainable peace.

"Those who deny access to humanitarian aid to needy people and the moral cowards are the same leaders who repeatedly violate international laws and do not respect them."

During his speech, Netanyahu called them "moral cowards" when he confronted the large number of officials who left the hall.
