Netanyahu Vows to Target NYC Mayor Mamdani in UN Speech

  • Dozens of delegates walked out of the General Assembly Hall on Thursday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address, with the leader taunting those remaining to join the others if they disagreed with his policies.
  • His address unfolded under the shadow of persistent international criticism regarding the war in Gaza, mirroring similar protests last year when delegates left as he attacked recognition of a Palestinian State.
  • Netanyahu held up a pager as a visual aid to remind the audience of the September 17, 2024, attack in Lebanon where Israel detonated devices distributed to Iran-backed Hezbollah militants, killing 12 people.
  • Calling those who left "moral cowards," Netanyahu claimed that by defending itself, Israel is also defending the nations whose delegates exited the hall, insisting many of their leaders thank Israel privately for targeting Iran.
  • Abbas urged the international community to take tangible action against Israel, emphasizing the enormous cost in the Gaza Strip where at least 73,922 Palestinians have been killed since the war began on October 7, 2023.
