Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that Israel is facing increasing international isolation due to its war in Gaza and the policies of his far-right government. Speaking at a Finance Ministry conference, he stressed the need for economic self-sufficiency and greater domestic weapons production as several Western nations, including the UK, Spain, and Canada, have halted arms exports to Israel. France, Norway, and Australia are also expected to back Palestinian statehood at the upcoming UN General Assembly. His remarks drew sharp criticism from opposition leaders, who blamed his failed policies for Israel’s growing isolation and economic risks.
