MSF Halts Gaza Work as Netanyahu Faces UN Walkouts and States Weigh Sanctions

International censure is intensifying following a UN‑mandated inquiry’s genocide finding.

Overview

  • Doctors Without Borders suspended its activities in Gaza, citing an unacceptable security risk, encircled facilities and the collapse of hospital services due to shortages of staff, supplies and fuel.
  • Dozens of UN General Assembly delegates walked out and booed during Benjamin Netanyahu’s address as he denied genocide allegations, rejected recognizing a Palestinian state and pledged to “finish the job” in Gaza.
  • Approximately 2,000 people marched in New York protesting Netanyahu’s presence at the UN and calling for an end to the Gaza offensive.
  • The Group of The Hague gathered 34 countries to outline coordinated legal, diplomatic and economic measures targeting Israel, while a separate coalition of 12 nations moved to bolster the Palestinian Authority’s finances.
  • FIFA and UEFA are assessing calls to suspend Israeli teams from official competitions following appeals by independent UN experts, with no final decision announced.
