Netanyahu Dismisses Gaza Genocide Allegations as Dozens of U.N. Delegates Walk Out
Israel's prime minister told Zohran Mamdani, who has called for his arrest, “You can’t silence me.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that accusations of genocide in Gaza are "the biggest lie of the century" during his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday. He argued that Israel had prevented a greater catastrophe and had done everything possible to protect civilians. The Israeli leader criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling him an "antisemitic mayor" and accusing him of spreading lies about Israel and its soldiers.
Mamdani responded by accusing Netanyahu of repeating baseless lies meant to sanitize his "genocide" of Palestinians.
