  "summary": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered a speech at the U.N. General Assembly, dismissing allegations of genocide in Gaza as \"the biggest lie of the century\". According to Netanyahu, Israel did not commit genocide, but rather prevented it, and he pointed to Israel's facilitation of food aid and polio vaccination campaigns in Gaza as evidence.\n\nNetanyahu's comments come as Israel faces allegations of genocide in a case brought by South Africa before the International Court of Justice. The court has ordered Israel to take provisional measures under the Genocide Convention, but has not yet ruled on whether Israel has committed genocide.\n\nIn a separate development, eight people were killed in Ukraine following a barrage of Russian drones and missiles. Additionally, Texas election officials are working to clear a backlog of voter registration applications caused by an error at the state level, as reported by PBS NewsHour.",
