A prominent U.S. Democratic senator has publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a "lying war criminal" in the lead-up to his scheduled address at the United Nations General Assembly. The sharp criticism comes amid ongoing tensions over the conflict in Gaza, with lawmakers increasingly vocal about their stance on the situation. The remarks highlight deepening political divisions in the U.S. over foreign policy and Israel’s role in the region. Netanyahu’s appearance at the UN will likely draw further scrutiny and debate on the international stage.
