One Trump adviser who insisted that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are both at their wits' end with Israel, told Axios that Netanyahu would be to blame for enabling Hamas and doing nothing for the Palestinians who have so many humanitarian needs, if he didn't accept the terms of Trump's proposed deal. Another member of the administration remarked that Everyone and I mean everyone is exasperated with Bibi. And yet another complained about Netanyahu's recent war of words with Tucker Carlson.
Moments into the speech Friday morning, Netanyahu unfurled a map titled THE CURSE (the all-caps were his) in which he methodically used a fat marker to check off the countries where Israel has killed its enemies during a nearly two-year regionwide war. He then addressed the audience with a pair of multiple-choice questions, depicted on a large card. Who shouts Death to America'? he asked as he read off the names of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi militia.
Facing international isolation, accusations of war crimes and growing pressure to end a conflict he has continued to escalate, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gets his chance to push back Friday on the international community's biggest platform. Netanyahu's annual speech to the U.N. General Assembly is always closely watched, often protested, reliably emphatic and sometimes a venue for dramatic allegations. But this time, the stakes are higher than ever for the Israeli leader.
I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope. I will not allow. It's not gonna happen, Trump said. Asked whether he had discussed his plans to block any Israeli annexation attempts with Netanyahu, Trump was noncommittal. Yeah, but I'm not gonna allow it. Whether I spoke to him or not, I'm not allowing Israel to annex the West Bank. There's been enough. It's time to stop now, OK? the US president said.
Netanyahu has grandiose idea of wanting to redraw the map of the Middle East Quotable I think what we're seeing is an evolution of Netanyahu's descent into insanity. The brazen activities of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are a way to redraw the Middle East map, says Professor Mehran Kamrava from Georgetown University.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed a strong attachment to the extremist vision of 'Greater Israel,' a plan for the conquest of Palestine and territories in neighboring countries.
