                    "PM says striking Iran was \u2018one of easiest decisions\u2019 he ever made, accuses world leaders of \u2018mind-blowing hypocrisy\u2019 and tells Mamdani: \u2018You can\u2019t silence the truth\u2019Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a combative address to the UN General Assembly on Thursday to defend Israel\u2019s conduct in Gaza and strikes on Iran, reject genocide allegations as \u201cthe greatest lie of the century\u201d and lash out at foreign leaders, protesters and critics he accused of hypocrisy toward Israel.Netanyahu said the strikes against Iran's nuclear program were necessary for Israel\u2019s survival and accused foreign leaders who criticize Israel publicly of privately thanking it for acting against Tehran.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the UN General Assembly  (Video: UN WEB TV)Returning to his famous 2012 UN presentation, in which he used a cartoon-like bomb diagram to illustrate Iran\u2019s nuclear progress, Netanyahu recalled drawing a red line over Tehran\u2019s nuclear program.\u201cFourteen years ago, I stood on this podium and I drew a red line,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cI vowed to prevent Iran\u2019s murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs.\u201dNetanyahu said the decision to strike Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities was among the clearest he had faced during his years in office.\u201cDevastating Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities was hard. It was very hard to do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I\u2019ve ever had to make as prime minister. Because if we hadn\u2019t done it, we\u2019d all be dead.\u201dThe prime minister argued that Israel\u2019s military actions had protected not only Israelis but other countries, including some whose representatives left the General Assembly chamber during his address.\u201cIn defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall,\u201d Netanyahu said.GalleryPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the UN General Assembly (Photo: ANGELA WEISS / AFP)He then accused those governments of hypocrisy, claiming some of their leaders had privately expressed gratitude for Israel\u2019s actions against Iran.\u201cMany of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran\u2019s nukes,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that\u2019s exactly what it is.\u201dNetanyahu also turned to Palestinian attacks in the West Bank, using the biblical name Judea for the territory.\u201cThey try to murder our people in our historic homeland in Judea,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cBy the way, that\u2019s where the word \u2018Jew\u2019 comes from \u2014 Judea. That\u2019s our land.\u201dHe said there are thousands of attacks each year targeting Israeli families traveling on West Bank roads.\u201cThey shoot at pregnant women. They shoot entire families,\u201d he said, accusing international media and social media platforms of largely ignoring such attacks. \u201cNone of it is covered in the international press or on social media. None of it.\u201d(Photo: Michael M. Santiago / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP)Netanyahu also addressed settler violence in the West Bank, describing those responsible as a small group of about 150 young offenders and saying Israel would not tolerate vigilantism.\u201cA handful of young juvenile delinquents, about 150 in number, go and throw stones, chop down olive trees and occasionally set fires,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cI can\u2019t stand that. I won\u2019t stand for vigilantism. We\u2019re a country of law, so we put our Shin Bet on them.\u201dThe prime minister rejected international criticism of settler violence, arguing that such incidents were disproportionately emphasized compared with Palestinian attacks against Israelis in the West Bank.\u201cThe number of casualties a year is maybe two or three,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cCompare that with the thousands of terrorist attacks against peaceful settlers \u2014 honorable, law-abiding people. What a distortion. It\u2019s an obsession.\u201dHe also criticized foreign leaders who have raised the issue.\u201cLeaders of countries seriously talk about this, and they say with such importance, \u2018We can\u2019t stand settler violence.\u2019 You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d he said.Netanyahu directly addressed French President Emmanuel Macron, citing two recent Palestinian attacks in the West Bank. Macron had triggered a dispute with Israel over comments about Hamas during his address to the UN General Assembly, appearing to claim that the terrorist group had never operated there.\u201cI say this to my colleague Emmanuel Macron: Three days ago, a French citizen, Netanel Shukrun, a father of six, was gunned down when he visited a spring with his 16-year-old son,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cA Hamas terrorist in Judea and Samaria came and fired at him point-blank. His last words were, \u2018Flee, flee, son. Save yourself.\u2019\u201dMacron's remarks drew an angry Israeli response. A French diplomatic source later said the remarks had been mistranslated and that Macron meant Hamas had never governed the territory.Netanyahu then cited the attack on Neriya Leiter, who was seriously wounded Wednesday in a Palestinian car-ramming attack near the Maccabim checkpoint in the West Bank. Leiter, a member of a police patrol crew, is the son of Israel\u2019s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter. His brother, Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter, was killed fighting in Gaza during the war.\u201cTwo days ago, in Judea and Samaria, a reserve soldier, Neriya Leiter, was mowed down by a Palestinian terrorist,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s fighting for his life now in a Jerusalem hospital.\u201dThe premier vowed to continue defending Israel.\u201cIsrael is like no other country. It's a privilege to defend it. To Neriya and to all the heroes of Israel, I pledge a sacred vow: Your sacrifice will not be in vain,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWe will continue to defend our state. We will continue to win because we have no other choice.\u201dNetanyahu praised the IDF as \u201cthe most moral army in the world,\u201d citing the scale of missile attacks Israel has faced and the diversity of those serving in its military.\u201cYou can imagine, think about 1,000 gigantic missiles falling from the skies on your cities, on your homes,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cI salute the courage of the people of Israel.  I salute the courage of the people of Israel. I salute the courage of our brave soldiers, Jews, Christians, Jews, Muslim, the most moral army in the world, the IDF.\u201dNetanyahu then launched a sharply worded attack on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing Turkey of spreading antisemitism and criticizing Erdogan\u2019s domestic and regional policies.\u201cThe latest country to become a superspreader of antisemitic lies is Turkey,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cErdogan is a tyrant. He also hosts the Hamas terror chiefs. He has murdered thousands of Kurdish civilians. He denies the Armenian genocide. He jails journalists and opposition leaders.\u201dThe prime minister went on to accuse Turkey of expansionism, pointing to its presence in northern Cyprus and tensions with Greece and Syria.\u201cI think he holds the world record on this, and that\u2019s a tough call. But I think he\u2019s number one,\u201d Netanyahu said, referring to the jailing of journalists and political opponents. \u201cHe illegally occupies northern Cyprus, an EU member, and he regularly transgresses against Greece, a NATO member. Now he wants to take over Syria. Well, that\u2019s not surprising.\u201dNetanyahu also targeted Qatar, accusing the Gulf state of using its financial influence over universities and media organizations to foster hostility toward Israel and the West.\u201cDecades ago, it started massively funding American universities and toxic media outlets like Al Jazeera,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cThey did the same in Europe, by the way. And their goal was clear: brainwash young minds to hate Israel, hate America, hate the West. This is the same Qatar that hosts the Hamas butchers of October 7.\u201dNetanyahu defended Israel\u2019s conduct in Gaza, saying Hamas had deliberately endangered Palestinian civilians while Israel had sought to move them out of harm\u2019s way.\u201cIt will take time for the world to acknowledge what is so plain to see: that Hamas used Palestinian civilians as human shields, that it used hospitals, schools and mosques as terrorist command posts, that it sold much of the food we let into Gaza,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWhile Hamas did everything possible to keep Palestinian civilians in harm\u2019s way, often at gunpoint, Israel did everything possible to get them out of harm\u2019s way.\u201dNetanyahu went further, claiming Israel\u2019s efforts to limit civilian casualties were unprecedented in modern warfare.\u201cIsrael has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any other military in history,\u201d he said.Netanyahu flatly rejected allegations that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, turning the accusation on Israel\u2019s enemies.\u201cIsrael didn\u2019t commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide,\u201d Netanyahu said.He called the allegation \u201cthe greatest lie of the century\u201d and invoked retired U.S. Army Col. John Spencer, who has publicly defended Israel\u2019s conduct in Gaza.\u201cAccusing Israel of genocide is the greatest lie of the century,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIf you want to know how big a lie, if you want to know how absurd it is, listen to Col. John Spencer.\u201dNetanyahu also singled out political commentator and streamer Hasan Piker while criticizing figures he accused of sympathizing with Hamas and anti-Israel causes.\u201cYou praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cYou count as friends people like Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11.\u201dTurning again to Iran, Netanyahu held up a Starlink satellite internet terminal, saying he would leave it with the president of the General Assembly to give to the Iranian delegation. He portrayed the device as a symbol of free expression in the face of Iranian government censorship.\u201cThis is a communications device, Starlink, that allows people to access truth, to exercise choice, to exercise freedom of thought and freedom of speech,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cI\u2019m going to leave this device with you so you can give it to the Iranian delegation. So when they inevitably defect, they too can share their story.\u201dNetanyahu also directly attacked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of hostility toward Israel and attempting to prevent the prime minister from visiting the city.\u201cMr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here. You tried to silence me,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWell, you can\u2019t silence me. You can\u2019t silence the truth.\u201dMamdani has called Netanyahu a war criminal and the \u201carchitect of the genocide in Gaza,\u201d allegations Netanyahu rejects, and has called for his arrest under the International Criminal Court warrant issued against him in 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The United States is not a member of the ICC, and Israel rejects both the court\u2019s jurisdiction and the allegations against Netanyahu. Netanyahu has accused Mamdani of hosting a Palestinian journalist who, he said, had filmed Hamas terrorists abusing Israeli hostages but withheld the footage to protect them. He also accused Mamdani\u2019s wife of liking social media posts praising the Oct. 7 massacre and saying Tel Aviv should not exist, and criticized Mamdani for repeatedly accusing Israel of genocide.Netanyahu concluded his remarks on Iran by predicting that its government would ultimately be overcome by its own people.\u201cDespite your silence, despite your hypocrisy, it\u2019s only a matter of time before something incredible happens in Iran,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cThe power of the people will overcome the people in power.\u201dAddressing Iranians directly, he added: \u201cOne day \u2014 and it may not be far away \u2014 the Iranian people will be free.\u201dNetanyahu also challenged protesters outside the UN and delegates who walked out of the chamber, accusing them of remaining silent over Iran\u2019s crackdown on its own citizens.Delegates walk out of the United Nations General Assembly chamber ahead of Netanyahu's speech  (Video: UN WEB TV)\u201cTo the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left this hall, I ask: Where were you when the Iranian tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians?\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWhen they butchered and maimed thousands of their own people, where were you?\u201dNetanyahu also predicted the eventual collapse of Iran\u2019s government, directly addressing the Iranian people and portraying its downfall as inevitable.\u201cI want you to listen to my words carefully. One day \u2014 and it may not be far away \u2014 the Iranian people will be free,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cTheir murderous regime will be toppled by its lies, by its corruption, by its cruelty. This evil regime will fall, and we will all celebrate that day.\u201dNetanyahu also recalled Israel\u2019s September 2024 pager operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon, in which thousands of pagers used by members of the Iran-backed group exploded almost simultaneously. A second wave of explosions involving booby-trapped walkie-talkies followed the next day.\u201cHezbollah \u2014 you remember the beepers? Remember these things? Remember them?\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWell, I can tell you this: Hezbollah certainly remembers them.\u201dNetanyahu then pointed to Israel\u2019s broader campaign against Hezbollah, which he said had destroyed the bulk of the terrorist group\u2019s once-formidable rocket arsenal.\u201cGuess what happened to the bulk of Hezbollah\u2019s vast arsenal of 150,000 rockets?\u201d he said.Netanyahu holds up a pager during his UN General Assembly address (Photo: TIMOTHY A. CLARY / AFP)Netanyahu has previously put Hezbollah\u2019s prewar arsenal at roughly 150,000 missiles and rockets and said in June that only about 8% remained following Israel\u2019s military campaign, though that figure is an Israeli assessment.Netanyahu's visit was scheduled to be unusually brief and was expected to last only several hours. His schedule is markedly thinner than during previous trips to the annual gathering, with no meeting planned with U.S. President Donald Trump.Before leaving Israel, Netanyahu signaled that his speech would be confrontational.\u201cYou hear the terrible lies being spread there; I will fight for the truth,\u201d he said, adding that there would be \u201csurprises.\u201dA senior Israeli official had said ahead of the speech that footage involving National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Jewish extremist violence in the West Bank had badly damaged Israel\u2019s international standing. The official said there was a perception abroad that Netanyahu had lost control of events and was allowing far-right ministers to act without restraint. Israel rejects allegations that it has committed genocide in Gaza and says its military operations have targeted Hamas and other terrorist groups. It has also accused critics of minimizing the security threats it faces and, in some cases, ignoring Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel.Guterres, delivering his final General Assembly address before his term ends Dec. 31, condemned Hamas' Oct. 7 attack while sharply criticizing the scale of Israel's military response in Gaza.He described the Hamas assault as \u201cabhorrent\u201d but said the ensuing Gaza war had brought a scale of death and destruction he had not witnessed during his years as secretary-general. He also warned that violence, Palestinian displacement and settlement expansion in the West Bank were eroding prospects for a two-state solution.UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres (Photo: ANGELA WEISS / AFP)Guterres renewed his support for two states and called for international law to be upheld consistently, part of a broader address in which he warned that global institutions were struggling under the weight of wars, geopolitical divisions and declining trust.Erdogan delivered one of the most forceful attacks on Israel, urging countries to increase pressure on Jerusalem over Gaza and calling on governments that have not recognized a Palestinian state to reconsider.The Turkish president condemned the humanitarian situation in Gaza and accused the international community of failing to stop it. Turkey has repeatedly characterized Israel's campaign as genocide, an allegation Israel rejects.Jordan's King Abdullah II also focused heavily on Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, accusing the Israeli government of policies aimed at changing realities on the ground and making a viable Palestinian state impossible. He pointed to settlement expansion, land seizures and settler violence in the West Bank while describing destruction in Gaza as part of a broader threat to Palestinian statehood.Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, accused Israel of \u201cgenocide in the fullest sense of the word\u201d in Gaza and criticized Israeli policy in the West Bank and elsewhere in the region.Macron said the humanitarian situation in Gaza was a \u201cspectacle that shames us all\u201d and criticized increasing settler violence in the West Bank, arguing that it was undermining Palestinian rights and prospects for a two-state solution.The criticism has not been limited to Middle Eastern leaders. Brazil's President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva accused Israel of genocide and warned of lasting trauma among Palestinians, while British Prime Minister Andy Burnham condemned Hamas' Oct. 7 attack and affirmed Britain's support for Israel's security but also criticized Israeli government policy in Gaza and the West Bank.The General Assembly voted 152-3, with four abstentions, to allow Abbas and other senior Palestinian officials to participate remotely in UN meetings when U.S. visa restrictions prevent them from attending. Washington has cited Palestinian efforts to pursue Israel in international tribunals and what it describes as attempts to \u201cinternationalize\u201d the conflict among its reasons for the restrictions.Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas addresses the General Assembly by video (Photo: AP Photo/Seth Wenig)Abbas accused Israel of waging a \u201cgenocidal war\u201d in Gaza, seeking to forcibly displace Palestinians and protecting what he called \u201csettler terrorism\u201d in the West Bank.He also argued that Israeli policy was destroying prospects for a two-state solution and warned against another Nakba \u2014 the Arabic word for \u201ccatastrophe,\u201d used by Palestinians for the mass displacement surrounding Israel's establishment and the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.Abbas also called on the international community to stop supplying weapons to Israel.Israel rejects Abbas' accusations and maintains that its military campaign was launched in response to the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack.Despite the focus on Gaza and the Palestinians throughout the General Assembly, Netanyahu devoted a substantial portion of his speech to Iran.Trump used his own General Assembly address Tuesday to issue a stark warning to Tehran, saying the United States could \u201cannihilate\u201d Iran if a peace agreement was not reached while also saying he believed a deal remained possible after the November U.S. midterm elections.Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian speaks as he holds a picture of Ali Khamenei, former Supreme Leader of Iran, during the 81st United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, on September 23, 2026 (Photo: AP Photo/Heather Khalifa)Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, meanwhile, used his appearance at the gathering to criticize U.S. policy and question Washington's commitment to diplomacy. The continuing U.S.-Iran confrontation has been one of the dominant Middle East issues surrounding this year's General Assembly.The political backdrop to Netanyahu's speech is unusual in another respect: The prime minister is making one of his shortest U.S. visits in years.He was expected to spend only about six hours in the United States, landing at a military airfield, traveling to Manhattan for the General Assembly and returning to the airport after his address.Netanyahu was accompanied by his wife, Sara. Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman and Education Minister Yoav Kisch were also at the UN in connection with their ministerial duties and were expected to attend his address.Netanyahu, who typically releases a video before departing Israel, kept an unusually low profile ahead of the trip. The first footage released by his office showed his arrival at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York, outside New York City.Netanyahu and his wife Sara arrive at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York  (Video: GPO)Netanyahu and his wife Sara arrive at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York (Photo: GPO)Netanyahu will not meet Trump during the trip. Their schedules do not overlap, with Trump having left New York after his own UN appearances. Netanyahu is also not expected to meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio.The Prime Minister's Office said Netanyahu's planned meetings include leaders from Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Ethiopia, Colombia, Greece, Slovenia and Papua New Guinea, although the compressed timetable leaves little room for the extensive bilateral diplomacy that traditionally accompanies his General Assembly appearances.Earlier plans for the trip were considerably broader. Netanyahu had been considering traveling to Texas for a possible meeting with Elon Musk and a visit connected to SpaceX, but the stop was canceled. The proposed Texas stop reportedly encountered logistical difficulties involving the U.S. Secret Service and would also have required an additional refueling stop in the United States.Israeli officials had also explored meetings with Gulf leaders, but none had been finalized as the visit approached.Netanyahu\u2019s office said numerous foreign leaders had requested meetings with Netanyahu but that the tight schedule and his need to return to Israel before the start of Sukkot meant he could accommodate only some of them. Media reports, however, cited additional concerns, including security considerations and anticipated protests against the prime minister.Netanyahu ultimately opted for such a brief visit that he was not expected to stay at the Loews Regency, his usual Manhattan hotel. Israel had already reserved three floors there, however, potentially leaving the government with a substantial bill. Finance Ministry officials were expected to negotiate with the hotel for a credit toward a future stay, though it was unclear whether the hotel would agree.Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Netanyahu meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly  (Video: GPO)Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Netanyahu meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (Photo: GPO)Before his UN address, Netanyahu met Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. According to the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, Netanyahu stressed the importance of the countries\u2019 strategic partnership for regional stability and welcomed Greece\u2019s selection of Israeli defense systems. The two also discussed regional developments, energy cooperation and plans for another trilateral summit with Cyprus.Netanyahu also met Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jan\u0161a. His office said Netanyahu welcomed the opening of Israel\u2019s embassy in Ljubljana and thanked Jan\u0161a for his strong support for Israel and a resulting shift in bilateral relations. The two discussed expanding cooperation, and Netanyahu invited Jan\u0161a to visit Israel.Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested in New York ahead of Netanyahu\u2019s appearance, while Israeli anti-government activists and supporters of Israel also held rallies. Security was tightened around the UN complex as world leaders gathered for the General Assembly.Several protesters were arrested shortly before Netanyahu\u2019s speech, including Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon, \u201cSex and the City\u201d star Cynthia Nixon and activist Linda Sarsour, an adviser to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who was recently denied entry to Israel.Anti-Israel protesters gather outside the UN headquarters ahead of Netanyahu's speech  (Video: from social media)Israeli officials were also concerned that Mamdani\u2019s administration could create logistical difficulties for the delegation, including potentially requiring Netanyahu\u2019s official Wing of Zion aircraft to leave a New York airport after dropping him off rather than remain there until his return from the UN."
