Has Netanyahu lost America?

Benjamin Netanyahu lands in New York today to speak at the UN general assembly. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/@statesidepodcast?sub_confirmation=1 It’s his first time in the city since Mayor Zohran Mamdani vowed to arrest him for war crimes, and he arrives as support for Israel amongst US voters is plummeting. 60% of Americans now have an unfavorable view of Israel – up from 42% in 2022. But what does this mean for Netanyahu’s hold on US politics, and will it play into Israel’s October elections? Kai Wright and Carter Sherman are joined by two reporters with different perspectives on the Netanyahu story.
