Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his UN General Assembly address to call US President Donald Trump Israel's most important ally, delivering that praise as numerous delegates walked out and as he confronts widening international isolation. The speech came before upcoming Israeli elections and amid an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu dismissed genocide accusations raised by a UN-backed inquiry, human rights organizations, genocide scholars and leaders at the summit, and singled out New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Though Washington keeps supplying Israel with money and arms, the two leaders have disagreed repeatedly since their countries carried out joint strikes on Iran in February. Netanyahu also said Iran's government would eventually fall to its people, and he spoke hours after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the assembly by video.
