Netanyahu's UN Speech Sparks Walkout, Defends Israel's Actions
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, which was met with a walkout by delegates. During his address, Netanyahu fiercely rejected criticism of his government's policies, defended Israel's actions, and warned Iran and Hezbollah. He also called delegates who walked out "moral cowards." Zohran Mamdani accused Netanyahu of spreading "baseless lies" and "lies to sanitize genocide" in response to the speech. Following the UNGA address, Netanyahu met with Latin American leaders to strengthen ties.
