Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pleaded his country’s case to the world at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday before an audience of mostly empty seats.⁠ ⁠ Allegations of Israeli genocide in Gaza are not only false but “the biggest lie of the century,” Netanyahu said in a defiant speech that asserted his nation’s right to wage war against Iran — and was not heard by scores of delegates who trooped out before he started speaking.⁠ ⁠ Netanyahu slammed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his UN speech.⁠ In a statement, Mamdani said: "As he has done time and again, Prime Minister Netanyahu used his speech to repeat baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians. Yet no lie can change the fact that he remains the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity.” #netanyahu #mamdani #un #unitednations⁠⁠
