Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told fellow world leaders at the United Nations that his country “must finish the job” against Hamas in Gaza, giving a defiant speech despite growing international isolation over his refusal to end the devastating war in Gaza.

Mr Netanyahu was speaking after dozens of delegates from multiple nations walked out of the UN General Assembly hall en masse on Friday.
