Netanyahu, Defiant and Isolated, Speaks at UN in New York as He Seeks Reelection at Home
The speech was repeatedly interrupted by cheering supporters and a walkout by scores of diplomats as Netanyahu sought to bolster his image before next month’s election.
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, delivering a defiant speech as diplomats walked out and calling remaining critics "moral cowards."
- Netanyahu's brief New York visit lacked high-profile meetings, including a session with President Donald Trump, an apparent snub that underscores the fractured relationship between the two allies.
- The speech appeared aimed at Israeli voters ahead of next month's election, as Netanyahu faces global criticism for the war in Gaza and settler violence in the West Bank.
- Natan Sachs, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, called the trip a "big, big miss" for a leader who cannot afford failures at this moment.
- Pressure mounts as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged Netanyahu's arrest over an International Criminal Court warrant, amid increasing global isolation three years after the Hamas-led attacks.
