New York Mayor Adams Responds to Netanyahu's UN Speech
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has responded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address at the United Nations, accusing Netanyahu of using his speech to spread "baseless lies" aimed at "whitewashing the genocide he is committing against Palestinians." Adams stated that no falsehoods can alter the fact that Netanyahu faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Adams' remarks came after Netanyahu directly addressed him during his UN speech. Netanyahu claimed that since Adams' election, "Jews no longer feel safe in New York." He further asserted that Israel did not commit genocide but prevented one, suggesting Adams would have acted differently if Israel had not intervened.
Netanyahu's comments to Adams were part of a broader defense of Israel's actions, where he denied committing genocide and accused Hamas of seeking to commit genocide against Israelis. He also criticized the ICC's actions against Israel.
