  "summary": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a forceful defense of Israel's actions at the UN General Assembly on Thursday, seeking to counter growing international isolation as he prepares for upcoming elections. During his speech, dozens of delegates stormed out, to which Netanyahu responded by calling them \"moral cowards.\" He accused New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani of calling him a war criminal, Western European leaders of succumbing to antisemitic mobs, and Qatar and Turkey of spreading lies about Israel. Despite the protests, Netanyahu vowed that he would not be silenced and reiterated that Israel did not commit genocide.",
