Netanyahu on Fox: Ceasefire Violations, Supreme Court Defiance, and Annexation Claims
At 23:18 · chapter starts 21:40
With the reflecting pool drama still fresh, Meiselas pivots to an equally jarring story: Benjamin Netanyahu's Fox News appearance on July 4th. In the 48 hours prior, Israeli forces demolished the Al-Dwahr neighborhood in Bin Jbeil, conducted an airstrike on a southern Lebanese town, and Netanyahu announced he would not comply with an Israeli Supreme Court ruling on media regulation — behaviors Meiselas draws an explicit parallel to Trump's own assault on regulatory institutions. Yet Netanyahu's message on Fox was pure peace-president branding: four Abraham Accords deals, the weakening of Iran, the dawn of a new regional alignment. Then came the most arresting claim: Lebanese Christian villages, he said, have actually asked to be annexed to Israel for protection against Hezbollah. Meiselas closes with a four-word verdict — 'Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous' — before signing off with a call to subscribe.
