Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, September 24, before the UN General Assembly, where he sharply criticized several countries, notably France and the United Kingdom. He reproached them for condemning Israel’s colonization policy while being former colonial powers themselves.
This intervention highlights the ongoing tension surrounding the issue of Israeli settlements and brings to light an argument frequently advanced by Israel regarding the moral legitimacy of international criticism. Béligh Nabli, a public law professor at UPEC and researcher at Sciences Po Paris, analyzed this speech, emphasizing its impact on the diplomatic debate.
