When alleged war criminals Netanyahu and Trump addressed the UN General Assembly recently, the US president threatened again to annihilate Iran and the Israeli prime minister boasted about Israel’s war crimes. Netanyahu called the nations that snubbed him “moral cowards”. He was right because not one of the UN member states have had the moral decency to honour their legal obligation to arrest him and send him to face justice at the Hague.

Israel is Isolated. So why is it still untouchable? with Craig Mokhiber

By The Electronic Intifada, October 5, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a walkout at the UN, but still took the podium despite a warrant for his arrest. What will it take to turn Israel’s growing isolation into real accountability?

Human rights lawyer and former UN official Craig Mokhiber joins us to discuss the gap between diplomatic condemnation and action, the “Board of Peace” plans for Gaza and Nicaragua’s case against Germany.

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada’s livestream on day 1091 of the Gaza genocide. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman and Jon Elmer were joined by human rights lawyer and former UN official Craig Mokhiber. You can watch the full show here:    • Day 1091 | Is Israel truly isolated?
