Donald Trump presides over the most powerful country on the planet. And Benjamín Netanyahu is in charge of the most powerful army in the Middle East. But that force they exhibit and practice from their respective offices contrasts with their loneliness before the world. To such an extent they are alone that hundreds of delegates abandoned the UN General Assembly between Boos when the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamín Netanyahu was going to take the floor. To such an extent they do not have friends in the world that Trump’s disruptive and denialist discourse before the United Nations was responded by dozens of countries inside the room. And for thousands of people who demonstrated Friday in the streets of New York.
The president of the United States and the Israeli prime minister have shown his unwavering, fundamental alliance for Netanyahu to fulfill his threat to the General Assembly. “We have not finished,” he said before an empty plenary. And, in effect, you can only move forward with the genocide thanks to the money, weapons and political support of Trump, while Javier Milei’s Argentina and Viktor Orbán’s Hungary follow the wake as pawns of the reactionary international led by the White House.
While Netanyahu is repudiated by much of the international community, it was seen this Thursday in New York with Milei, who spoke a deeply followed speech with Trump in the United Nations and has announced that he will be received at the White House for the third time from the return of Donald Trump in the next few days.
Both Trump and Netanyahu have accused the countries that have recognized the Palestinian State in recent months, after the attacks of Hamas of October 7, 2023 of “rewarding the terrorists” – according to the first one – and of “rewarding the murderers of Jews” – according to the second.
And this week the United Nations Assembly has been very crossed by genocide in Palestine, one of the greatest open wounds for almost two years. Thus, he started with an international conference in which the French president, Emmanuel Macron, announced the recognition of Palestine, after they had done it a day before United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium or Portugal, among others.
But not only: the UN Secretary General, Antònio Guterres, opened the 80th session of the General Assembly asking that the arrest warrants of international justice for genocide and war crimes be fulfilled and a humanity against the Hamás dome, but also against the Israeli prime minister and a good part of his cabinet.
Indeed: Guterres was asking Netanyahu to be arrested. A Netanyahu who walks freely through the United States while the White House does not let the Palestinian rulers enter the country and approves sanctions against those who try to comply with the orders of the International Court of Justice or take measures in front of the Israeli genocide.
Thus, the US has approved sanctions against the UN Rapporteur for the occupied territories, Francesca Albanese, and has expressed his complaint about the embargo of weapons and fuel to Tel Aviv, which prevents US ships from passing through Spanish ports of Israel.
Trump’s ultra -denialism
Trump’s loneliness is total in relation to his complicity with Israeli genocide. But not only. This week in Nations meetings have been held in relation to the objectives of sustainable development and with the Beijing statement for gender equality, which the Trump administration opposes. But, also, a meeting of world progressive leaders has been held, with Lula da Silva, Pedro Sánchez, Gabriel Boric and Gustavo Petro, among others, where economist Joseph Stiglitz read a manifesto signed by 43 Nobel Prizes in Defense of Democracy and against Rampante Trumpism.
While within the United Nations headquarters, speeches in favor of multilateralism, a world governed by rules and the need to combat climate change, both inside and outside, Donald Trump declared and acted in the opposite direction of most of the countries of the world.
Thus, Trump affirmed in the General Assembly that “climate change is the largest scam in history” and that European countries were going “to hell” for not applying their xenophobic policies in relation to migration. Moreover, Trump accused the United Nations of financing “the invasion” of migrants, a statement that Javier Milei seconded, while the rest of the world defended respect for human rights, also from migrants.
And outside the walls of the United Nations building, Trump applied his speech in a race towards the narrowing of rights, criticizing the return of Jimmy Kimmel to the ABC and announcing that the chain was going to be investigated for being “an arm of the Democratic Party.” But not only: he advanced in his strategy to co -opt with justice and achieved the imputation of former FBI director James Comey after having pressed for it and changed to the prosecutors until he got a – Lindsey Halligan, lawyer of the White House – to do what he wanted.
But not only. Trump’s commercial war with his unilateral tariffs, which he defended in his speech and applauded the ultra -liberal Milei – yes, an ultra -liberal supporting commercial barriers in a sample of submission to Trump – has taken a more twist with the announcement of 100% tariffs to medications and other amounts for bathroom furniture, kitchen, sofas and trucks.
“The principles of the United Nations are under siege,” Guterres said in the General Assembly, “the pillars of peace and progress are staggering under the weight of impunity, inequality and indifference; sovereign nations are invaded, hunger becomes a weapon, the truth is silence From the sea they continue to increase the coasts: they are alert.
And that is the dilemma to which the world is. And, for the moment, Trump’s path, based on the law of the strongest, of selfishness – America First – and the search for submission instead of cooperation, is only being seconded by those who have an existential need for their favor – Nananyahu for weapons and money for genocide; and Milei for the rescue of the IMF and political support at a time of great internal answer and lean electoral expectations. At the moment, Trump and Netanyahu are in an eloquent loneliness in the UN while advancing with the Ultra agenda and the genocide in Gaza.
Of course, a loneliness that is evident in alternative speeches of dozens of countries, although those who have really confronted models have been the countries of the Global South – a legion of Latin American, African and Asian countries have directly replicated Trump and have denounced the genocide in Gaza – while Europe has avoided the clash with Trump, except for the Spanish government – with a distance that has been deepened since the summit has been deepened from NATO -.
