On Sept. 24 local time (early Sept. 25 Beijing), Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu, speaking at the UN General Assembly general debate, defended Israel's
so-called "seven-front war" and said ordering an attack on Iran was "one of the
easiest decisions I've made," framing it as self-defense and to protect other
countries. He dismissed allegations of genocide in Gaza as "the biggest lie of
the century," accused Qatar and Turkey of spreading falsehoods on social media,
and accused New York City mayor Mamdani of antisemitism.
