‘You Can’t Silence Me’: Netanyahu Directly Calls Out Mamdani During Fiery UN Speech

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly addressed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his UN General Assembly speech, saying Mamdani had tried to stop him from coming to New York and ‘silence’ him. Netanyahu then rejected allegations that Israel committed genocide, saying, ‘Israel didn’t commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide.’ Those genocide claims remain fiercely disputed, with Israel rejecting them.
