Netanyahu delivered a defiant speech at the UN General Assembly, prompting many delegates to walk out before he began, while protests occurred in New York City with some demonstrators arrested. Netanyahu rejected accusations that Israel's actions constitute genocide, calling it the opposite, defended the military campaign against Iran, and made remarks about Mamdani and other critics. He also addressed claims about settler violence in the West Bank, which some outlets noted differed from UN-published figures on deaths in that context.
Further-left outlets (Guardian, Washington Post, NBC) similarly emphasize Netanyahu's isolation, the mass walkout, and large protests/arrests, with a Guardian op-ed by an arrested protester asserting genocide as fact and criticizing US complicity; framing centers on condemnation and isolation rather than balanced quotation of Netanyahu's defenses.

Right-leaning outlets (Fox News, Washington Times, Breitbart) present Netanyahu's speech sympathetically and at length, emphasizing his defense of the Iran strikes, his 'moral cowards' rebuke of walkout delegates, his Starlink prop, and his attacks on Mamdani, while highlighting criticism of Mamdani for not similarly condemning Iran's president.
