Netanyahu at UN: ‘Israel Didn’t Commit Genocide, Israel Prevented Genocide’
Dozens of envoys walked out as Netanyahu defended Israel’s wars and attacked critics, while his team applauded and the session chair called for order.
- On Thursday, Netanyahu addressed the UNGA, attacking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and leadership in Iran, France, and the United Kingdom while defending Israel's military actions against international criticism.
- Facing a tight election race on October 27, Netanyahu aimed his rhetoric at domestic voters while describing Israel's conflict as a 'seven-front war' encompassing Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Iraq.
- Netanyahu thanked 'friend' United States President Donald Trump, citing joint missions over Iran and hostage rescue efforts, while denying genocide charges and attacking Mamdani, who previously attempted to block his visit.
- While dozens of envoys walked out during the address, Mamdani called the accusations 'baseless lies'; Ariel Cohen of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center observed the speech served as an election rally in the 'wrong forum.'
- Defending the February strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, Netanyahu claimed the decision was necessary for survival, invoking his late brother Yonatan Netanyahu and declaring, 'We have no other choice,' regarding Israel's path forward.
