Netanyahu attacks New York mayor in UN speech

Netanyahu made accusations against the mayor of New York during his speech at the UN. Israel's prime minister accused Mandani of "spitting in the face of the truth" and said the mayor is anti-Semitic.

"You falsely and repeatedly accuse Israel of genocide. Mr. Mamdani, you tried to prevent me from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you cannot silence me. You cannot silence the truth."

"This is the simple truth: Israel did not commit genocide. Israel prevented a genocide. And that is exactly what your friends in Hamas would have done to us if we had not stopped them."

Context: The speech comes amid Netanyahu's growing diplomatic isolation. The United Kingdom and France, former allies of Israel, adopted measures against products coming from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, while French President Emmanuel Macron defended the recognition of the Palestinian state in his speech at the UN last Monday (21).

In New York, Netanyahu is also the target of criticism from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who defends compliance with the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against the prime minister. International justice issued the warrant in 2024, in the context of the investigation into possible war crimes related to the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
