Netanyahu arrives in New York to address the UN, and other Mideast developments
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to criticize New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his UN address on Thursday, according to Reuters. In a video statement, Netanyahu directly addressed the mayor, vowing to "tell the truth" about both "our heroic soldiers" and "you." Netanyahu falsely accused Mamdani of backing Hamas fighters.
The New York City mayor has called Netanyahu a war criminal and the architect of a genocide against Palestinians. With Israel's elections approaching, many Israeli commentators see Netanyahu's UN speech as a campaign rally, with former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren echoing this sentiment.
