International criticism of Netanyahu grows over prisoner deals and policies

Several countries and officials have publicly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An Egyptian ambassador said delays in prisoner exchange deals have increased Israel's international isolation, Turkey commented on his policies, and Iran's government called him a 'criminal and child-killer' after Israel denied a report about his death.

Ukraine responded to an Iranian leader's statement calling Netanyahu a 'legitimate target' by labeling him a 'serial killer,' and Netanyahu requested a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Separately, President Donald Trump mentioned a specific prohibition involving Netanyahu.
