Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his U.N. General Assembly address to defend Israel’s military campaign and security policies, reject allegations of genocide, and accuse New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of spreading lies and fostering an environment in which Jews feel unsafe. Mamdani condemned Netanyahu’s account of the Gaza war and cited the International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity, while acknowledging that the city has no authority to enforce it. The address came amid large anti-Israel protests in New York and a broader feud that has included Mamdani’s meetings with Palestinian families from Gaza. Netanyahu also described Israel as facing threats on multiple fronts, including Iran, as his government faced growing diplomatic pressure over the war and settlements.
