Abbas’s U.N. speech came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to New York, where he’s set to address the General Assembly today. For the first time, Netanyahu’s flight route was diverted over the Mediterranean Sea to avoid overflying a country that would be obliged to arrest him. An International Criminal Court warrant seeks Netanyahu’s arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza, including using starvation as a weapon of war. This morning, protesters are gathering at Times Square for a march to the U.N. to demand the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu.
