Netanyahu Attacks Qatar, Turkey in UN Speech, Calls Genocide Accusation ‘Lie of the Century,’ Calls Mamdani ‘Antisemite’

Netanyahu accused Mamdani, Qatar and Turkey of backing Israel’s enemies and defended Gaza operations as genocide claims drew a walkout from many diplomats.

  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly, labeling Iran a "murderous dictatorship" and attacking New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani amid deepening diplomatic isolation three years into conflict with Iran and its proxies.
  • Netanyahu spoke as his country faces international vilification following three years of war; relations with Mamdani remain fractured after the mayor accused Israel of genocide and threatened to execute an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him.
  • Accusing Britain and France of colonialism, Netanyahu also called Mamdani "antisemitic" and claimed, "Since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews no longer feel safe." His remarks targeted historic allies increasingly critical of Israeli actions.
  • Many diplomats staged a walkout during the address, and President Donald Trump was notably absent from Netanyahu's itinerary despite his New York visit; Trump spoke on Tuesday while Netanyahu arrived Thursday, though he made time to meet with Mamdani.
  • Despite seven months of war, Iran continues to defy the United States by blocking the Strait of Hormuz; Netanyahu vowed to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, claiming the fall of Iran's leadership is not "far.
