Quick Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly where he accused other nations of hypocrisy for supporting Hamas while condemning Israel's actions. He urged those who support Hamas to leave the assembly, highlighting what he called their moral cowardice and hypocrisy. Netanyahu also criticized Western supporters of Hamas as "painfully stupid or naïve" for calling Israel’s war efforts a genocide. During his speech, several UN delegates reportedly left the hall, which Netanyahu interpreted as an attempt by these nations to create a spectacle rather than engage with his arguments.

Story summary

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, addressed the UN General Assembly on September 26, 2026, despite facing significant criticism and protests from both within and outside the assembly hall. Netanyahu accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas terrorists and called him a war criminal, threatening to expose Mamdani during his speech at the UN. Mamdani had previously vowed to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York but later admitted that he lacked the authority to do so.

Netanyahu's appearance came amid growing international condemnation over alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Over 70 countries boycotted Netanyahu’s speech, staging a walkout during his address to highlight their disapproval. However, according to Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon, more than 100 delegations actually stayed in the room.

The incident underscores Netanyahu's political isolation as he faces an upcoming election in October 2026 and declining support for Israel among US voters. Polls indicate a loss of faith in Netanyahu domestically, with sixty percent of Americans now having an unfavorable view of Israel compared to forty-two percent in 2022. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued controversial actions such as dropping "skunk water" on Palestinians in Gaza and demolishing homes in the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the podium at the UN General Assembly and urged any “moral cowards” who hadn’t walked out on him yet to vacate their seats, too, because he was about to blister those hypocrites who support the Hamas death cult while condemning a small, beleaguered nation fighting for its survival. asserted
