Israel's UN Visit by PM Bennett Reassures in One Arena - No Shortage of Enemies

When observing Israel's path towards sovereignty, one thing strikes a chord in the constant arguments for peace in the Middle East; Israel is given virtually no quarter in the minds of the hold-outs desiring to take Israel apart for multiple reasons of hostilities and abject hatred of the Jewish State. It is still a dream of 'Palestinian' PM Abbas to have Israel partitioned and the PA ruling over the Temple Mount.
The point being is that all of this and so much more, does not give Israel too much opportunity for complacency.
Further, in exchanges with the American 46th Administrative Chief Executive, PM Bennett was put on the spot defending Israel's right to sovereignty over territories that the United States has neither the right nor the business of telling Israel how to govern. In fact, the gall of the American 46th Administration was amply demonstrated that by making such assertions towards PM Bennett, America is in much more troubling circumstances with its own more catastrophic border and internal crises for which no reasonable solution is proposed. Lastly, America is in no position under its current political turmoil to be a reliable ally.
And the UN; what is there that the UN can offer any nation but opinions extraordinaire without substantive options for pure and true peace for Israel. It would have been simpler if PM Bennett had attended by Zoom and observed Simchat instead.
