Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and calls the allegations “the biggest lie of the century.” Multiple outlets report he delivers the remarks during an address at the UN General Assembly.
In his speech, Netanyahu presents his response as combative and personally directed at political figures critical of Israel’s conduct. France 24 and The Hindu both report he criticizes New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, while The Hindu includes Netanyahu’s claim that many Jews no longer feel safe in New York. The outlets also describe Netanyahu making broader statements at the UN, including comments related to Iran.
Belfast Telegraph, France 24, and The Hindu frame the core message similarly: Netanyahu rejects genocide accusations, while his speech includes attacks on opponents and remarks that go beyond the genocide question. The differing coverage is mainly in emphasis, with France 24 highlighting his overall UN address and comments on Iran, while The Hindu focuses more on his exchange with Mamdani and the safety of Jews in New York.
