Netanyahu says he will attend UNGA despite Mamdani opposition

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated he will attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, despite opposition from Ugandan scholar Mahmood Mamdani. Mamdani, who is involved in organizing the event, said Netanyahu is 'not welcome' and accused him of 'fomenting hate' against Jews in New York. Netanyahu dismissed these claims and also rejected war-crimes charges from the International Criminal Court as 'bogus'. He further linked the conflict with Iran to the regime's nuclear program, saying it ends when the regime falls or gives up its weapons.
