Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly on Thursday, as dozens of delegates walked out when he took the podium. During the speech, Netanyahu held up a pager, left a Starlink terminal with the president of the General Assembly to pass on to the Iranian delegation, and lashed out at Turkey, Qatar and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Opening his remarks, Netanyahu addressed the delegates who had left the hall. “If there are any more moral cowards left here, please leave now,” he said Netanyahu devoted a substantial portion of his speech to Iran. “Fourteen years ago, I stood on this podium and drew a red line,” he said. “I vowed to prevent Iran’s murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs, and that is exactly what we did.

JPOST Netanyahu at UNGA: Gaza genocide ‘lie of the century,’ matter of time before Iranians topple regime “It’s no wonder if we consider that you [Mamdani] praised criminals convicted of supporting Hamas; you count as friends people like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. Some friends you have. You invite into your home a Palestinian journalist who filmed Hamas terrorists beating and torturing Israeli hostages and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos in order to protect the terrorists. Your wife likes a post praising the Oct. 7 massacre, and another saying Tel Aviv shouldn’t exist,” Netanyahu added. “Mr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here; you tried to silence me. Well, you can silence me, you can’t silence the truth,” the Prime Minister continued.

JEWISH INSIDER Netanyahu targets Mamdani, Macron and foreign critics in UNGA address Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against criticism of Israel over Gaza and the West Bank in his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, taking aim at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, French President Emmanuel Macron, Qatar and Turkey. After most of the hall conducted a walkout at the outset of his speech, Netanyahu condemned violence by Israeli settlers while dismissing the international focus on settler violence as an “obsession.” He said roughly 150 young Israelis were responsible for throwing stones, destroying olive trees and setting fires in the West Bank and said Israel had deployed the Shin Bet against them. “I can’t stand that. I won’t stand for vigilantism,” Netanyahu said, before arguing that the attention paid to such attacks was disproportionate to Palestinian terrorism.

TOWN HALL Javier Milei Delivered a Brutal Takedown of the United Nations His speech was an unapologetic broadside against the U.N. itself. Milei, a man already known for his unwavering commitment to free-market capitalism and his fierce disdain for socialism and collectivism, delivered an eloquent takedown of an institution he argued has done more than lost its way but has encouraged “chaos, violence and international terrorism to flourish.” He called the United Nations “useless,” accused it of sustaining “a caste of fatally arrogant parasites,” and charged that it has failed disastrously at the very missions, collective security and human rights, for which it was created.
