Netanyahu culpa “delinquentes juvenis” pela violência na Cisjordânia ocupada.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has used his platform at the United Nations General Assembly to attack detractors and allies alike, and his presence sparked uproar in the chamber.

Speaking before the UNGA on Thursday, Netanyahu attacked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, critics and Iran’s leadership, as well as allied countries like the United Kingdom and France.

De volta ao país, o primeiro‑ministro está em uma corrida apertada para permanecer no poder antes das eleições de 27 de outubro, e analistas dizem que seu discurso na UNGA foi dirigido tanto ao público interno quanto aos espectadores internacionais.

Dozens of envoys from around the world walked out as the speech began, some jeering and booing, while Netanyahu’s own team stood and applauded, and the speaker of the session shouted for order.

He addressed the war that the US and Israel launched on Iran in February, saying: “Devastating Iran’s nuclear facilities was hard, was very hard to do.”.

In his own speech before the UNGA on Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also addressed the nuclear issue and called out the “double standard”.

Netanyahu, nesta quinta-feira, disse que Israel estava lutando uma “seven-front war”, incluindo Gaza, a Cisjordânia ocupada, Síria, Líbano, Irã, os Houthis do Iêmen e milícias no Iraque.

The United Kingdom and France, historic partners of Israel, were also in Netanyahu’s firing line. They have become increasingly outspoken in their criticism of the country’s actions and have both imposed limited sanctions on Israeli exports from the occupied West Bank.

But Netanyahu thanked his “friend”, United States President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu disse que os EUA e Israel também “trabalharam juntos para trazer de volta nossos reféns restantes [de Gaza]”, enquanto ele defendia as ações israelenses no enclave contra acusações de genocídio.

Reacting to Netanyahu’s comments, Mamdani called the accusations against him “baseless lies” meant to “sanitise his genocide of Palestinians”.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has faced repeated accusations of genocide in Gaza, as well as systematic war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) said in 2024 it had reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu was responsible for war crimes in Gaza, where over 73,000 Palestinians have been killed.

Netanyahu compareceu à reunião da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas apesar de um mandato do Tribunal Penal Internacional (ICC) que exigia sua prisão. Enquanto foi recebido, a administração Trump negou um visto ao presidente palestino Mahmoud Abbas, que dirigiu-se à Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas por meio de uma declaração em vídeo pré-gravada de Ramallah mais cedo no dia.

As Netanyahu spoke, activists from US-based organisation Jewish Voice for Peace protested outside, accusing the United Nations of “playing host to a war criminal”.

Meyerson-Knox disse que “a solidariedade com a liberdade palestina nunca foi maior, e aqui nos EUA estamos exigindo, com uma única voz, que se pare de armar Israel”.

Adding to tensions, dozens of protesters, some brandishing “stop the genocide” banners, gathered near the UN. Several demonstrators were detained, including prominent actor Susan Sarandon.

Ariel Cohen, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, said the Israeli prime minister delivered a “good speech” at the UNGA but that he did so in the “wrong forum”.

Netanyahu is only making a whirlwind stop in New York before rushing back to Israel, where the election campaign is in full swing. He is not scheduled to meet any top US leaders.
