   Netanyahu targets political survival in fiery UN address

While the speech focused on external adversaries, an analyst suggests the actual targets were President Trump and Israeli voters to ensure Netanyahu's own political survival. This diplomatic activity occurs as threats regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities have contributed to rising oil prices and ongoing debates over the rationality of Israel's policies to stop nuclear weapons development.
