POLICY WIRE — Tel Aviv, Israel — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address the United Nations General Assembly this week, a moment that underscores both his nation’s growing international isolation and his urgent need to bolster support among Israeli voters before critical national elections.

Arriving in New York for what appears to be a brief but symbolic visit, Netanyahu aims to defend Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip on the world stage. However, much of his focus seems to be on domestic politics, with his speech likely designed to resonate with supporters who view him as a steadfast defender of the country’s interests.
