Netanyahu Accuses Mayor Mamdani of Supporting Hamas Ahead of UN Speech

Netanyahu accused Mamdani of fueling antisemitism and endangering Jews, while Mamdani said the speech repeated baseless lies about Gaza.

  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a sweeping defense of Israel's nearly three-year war at the United Nations General Assembly, declaring that Israel has not merely survived a seven-front assault but inflicted devastating blows on hostile forces.
  • Netanyahu linked the conflict to the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that killed 1,200 people, framing Israel's military response as a struggle for survival against Iran and its proxies across multiple theaters.
  • During his address, Netanyahu accused Turkey of being the latest "superspreader of antisemitic lies" and criticized Qatar for hosting Hamas officials, while directly attacking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
  • Dozens of delegates walked out as Netanyahu spoke; Turkish and Qatari officials rejected his remarks, while protests involving celebrities and politicians occurred outside the UN headquarters in New York.
  • Asserting "we have no other choice," Netanyahu claimed Israel's military campaign severely damaged Hezbollah's arsenal of approximately 150,000 rockets, demonstrating continued commitment to neutralizing threats despite international pressure.
