Overview

• Dozens of UN General Assembly delegations left and booed as Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, after he called a Palestinian state a “national suicide” and vowed to “finish the job” in Gaza while denying genocide accusations.
• Roughly 2,000 people marched in New York protesting Netanyahu’s visit and the Gaza war, with Colombia’s president Gustavo Petro joining the demonstration.
• Médecins Sans Frontières suspended its medical activities in Gaza City, citing an unacceptable security risk as Israeli strikes and armored advances approached its facilities.
• Independent UN human rights experts urged FIFA and UEFA to suspend Israel’s national teams; both bodies are assessing the call and declined to comment on possible expulsion.
• Multiple governments, including France, the UK, Canada, Australia and Portugal, recognized a Palestinian state this week, bringing recognitions to at least 151 UN members, as Gaza’s death toll surpassed 65,000 according to figures cited by the UN.
