Netanyahu Criticizes Detractors, Including Mamdani, in UN Address
Israel's prime minister used his UN General Assembly speech to hit back at critics as the body also heard from the Palestinian Authority and Yemen on Middle East crises.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his address to the UN General Assembly to criticize a number of detractors, including New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, according to NPR.
The speech came as the General Assembly's broader session kept Middle East crises in focus, with the body also hearing remarks from representatives of the Palestinian Authority and Yemen.
NPR's report did not detail the specific remarks Netanyahu directed at Mamdani or his other critics, nor did it summarize the content of the Palestinian Authority's or Yemen's statements to the assembly.
The address adds to a broader pattern this UN session of sharp exchanges among Middle Eastern and international figures, as the General Assembly continues to serve as a venue for airing regional disputes before a global audience.
