PODCAST
September 25, 2026 ~ Chris Renwick and Lloyd Jackson talk with Journalist Doron Levin about yesterday’s UN visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. What was said and how will it affect the region?
NEW YORK ~ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his address to the United Nations General Assembly to defend Israel’s actions against Iran, arguing that preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains essential to Israel’s security and stability across the Middle East. The speech came as some delegates walked out of the chamber, highlighting the sharp divisions surrounding Israel’s military and foreign policy decisions.
With Israeli elections approaching, Netanyahu also appeared to focus on voters at home by emphasizing his long-standing commitment to protecting Israel from regional threats. While supporters view his security-first message as a reason for continued leadership, critics argue the country may be ready for new leadership following years of political tensions and ongoing challenges in the region.
