The United Nations: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be the first speaker of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, arriving under what aid describes as “extraordinary circumstances” during one of the most difficult weeks of Israel on the world scene.
Netanyahu’s visit comes only a few days after Western countries have announced the recognition of a Palestinian state At a French-Saudi summit in New York, following similar measures from Great Britain, Canada and Australia. The diplomatic wave underlines the deepening of international criticism of the conduct of Israel in Gaza.
Netanyahu’s flight to New York was forced to redirect countries that refused to authorize Overflight, partly due to arrest warrants against the international criminal tribunal issued against him.

Israeli officials told Fox News Digital that Netanyahu’s speech should be combative, aimed at repelling the growing vague diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state in the UN, and to counter investigations and resolutions accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza.
A public awareness campaign by the Israeli government is seen in the streets of New York before Netanyahu’s speech.
“The speech will be difficult,” said an official source at Fox News Digital. “Israel must stop the momentum and remind the world that began this war on October 7.”

Display panels and massive trucks around the UN and Times Square headquarters read “Remember October 7” and present a QR code connecting a website, accessible only outside Israel, documenting the atrocities of Hamas.
