Benjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli politician and diplomat, born on 21 October 1949, who has served as Prime Minister of Israel since 2022.
He is a central figure in Israeli politics and frequently addresses international forums such as the United Nations General Assembly, where he presents Israel's positions on security and foreign policy.
His critics include a range of international observers, diplomats, and advocacy groups who question his government's policies and rhetoric, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The conflict between Netanyahu and his critics centers on how to characterize and address violence in the occupied West Bank.
During a UN speech, Netanyahu downplayed settler violence, attributing it to 'juvenile delinquents,' a characterization that critics argue minimizes systematic violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
This disagreement reflects broader tensions over Israel's settlement policy and the international response to it, including protests and diplomatic walkouts during his UN address.
