4 Jaw-Dropping Moments from Netanyahu's UN Speech
Description: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on the defensive when he took the stage at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.
His country is facing growing condemnation from all sides. In September, 11 European countries and Canada announced a joint plan to sanction Israel’s West Bank settlements, and 62 percent of Americans report a negative opinion of his government in a recent Pew poll.
Netanyahu himself faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for war crimes, including genocide.
Protesters blocked streets outside the UN hours before Netanyahu took the podium, and within the chamber, half of Netanyahu’s audience walked out before his speech even began.
Watch four of the most jaw-dropping moments from his address.
