Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called genocide allegations over Gaza 'the biggest lie of the century' at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, days after Mayor Zohran Mamdani described him as an 'architect' of genocide. Scores of delegates walked out before Netanyahu spoke.
The address followed Mamdani's renewed call for federal authorities to arrest Netanyahu under an International Criminal Court warrant, which the mayor says New York cannot enforce. In an interview with CNN, Mamdani called Netanyahu 'an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people'. Israel rejects the genocide allegation.
