Netanyahu assailed his critics as "antisemites," defended his country's conduct in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria, and lavished praise on President Trump for joining Israel's strikes on Iran. Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator under Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Yitzhak Rabin, says Israel's growing diplomatic isolation "needs to be translated into action" like sanctions, arms embargoes and other forms of accountability.
