  "summary": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery speech at the UN General Assembly, criticising both enemies and allies. He targeted Iran, as well as Britain, France, and Turkey, which are considered allies. According to The Citizen, Netanyahu also attacked New York's first Muslim mayor.\n\nThe speech sparked a strong reaction, with dozens of envoys walking out of the hall, some jeering and booing. The walkout was reported by multiple outlets, including Punch Nigeria and Al-Monitor. Netanyahu responded by telling those who remained to leave if they felt similarly, calling them \"moral cowards\".\n\nNetanyahu's speech was given during a challenging time for him, with Israel's Prime Minister facing a tight re-election campaign, according to The Citizen. The speech was met with applause from Netanyahu's own team, but was criticised by some, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who accused Netanyahu of using the speech to \"repeat baseless lies\" aimed at justifying Israel's actions against Palestinians, as reported by Middle East Eye.",
