Netanyahu tells Mamdani he will ‘expose the truth’ at UNGA

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday his intention to address the United Nations General Assembly to "fight for the truth about our heroic soldiers" and to "expose the truth" about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Netanyahu also stated that Jerusalem is collaborating with the U.S. administration to expand the Abraham Accords, expressing belief in achieving "broader peace." This comes after Mayor Mamdani reiterated his view on CNN that Netanyahu, whom he described as "a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people," should be arrested during his New York visit, citing the International Criminal Court's warrant. Ofir Akunis, Israel's consul general in New York, affirmed Netanyahu would "proudly stand at the General Assembly podium" and noted collaboration with local and federal agencies to ensure the prime minister's safety.
