Netanyahu addresses UN General Assembly, attacking Mayor Mamdani and defending Israel's actions in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address to the UN General Assembly on September 24, 2026, during which he called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani an antisemite, accused him of being buddies with Hamas, and denied that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Dozens of delegates walked out before or during the speech. Netanyahu faces an Israeli election on October 27 and an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.

Netanyahu expected to berate New York’s Mamdani in UN address for calling him a war criminal
The split, in one line
Pro-Netanyahu outlets emphasize Mamdani's Hamas ties and Jewish safety concerns, while critics highlight growing isolation and ICC warrant. Now, Jewish Democrats defend Mamdani as Netanyahu's attack appears overreaching to some allies.
