United Nations Speech and Protests

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to the United Nations podium to defend his country's moves against increasing international isolation. Right at the beginning of the speech, numerous delegates walked out in protest, while supporters in the hall chanted slogans in Hebrew.

Criticisms Directed at Leaders and Countries

In his speech at the podium, Netanyahu targeted New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Western European leaders, as well as Qatar and Turkey. Rejecting genocide allegations, Netanyahu claimed that Israel prevented genocide and criticized those circles calling him a war criminal.

Mamdani's Statements and Investigations

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani made a statement indicating that Netanyahu told baseless lies. Mamdani reminded that Netanyahu continues to be at the center of the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court and war crime allegations.

Pre-Election Messages and Demonstrations

Delivering a campaign-style speech lasting nearly forty minutes with less than five weeks until general elections, Netanyahu described the struggle fought on seven fronts. While some visual materials and devices were displayed during the speech, hundreds of demonstrators gathered near the UN building were detained by police for obstructing traffic.
