Netanyahu says accusations of genocide in Gaza are ‘biggest lie of the century’ in UN speech
Israeli PM also said those who accuse Israel of colonialism in UK ‘invented the term’
Assessment
Netanyahu used his UN platform to dismiss genocide accusations as fabrication, signaling Israel will not engage with international legal pressure. His swipe at colonialism claims in the UK shows a broader strategy to reframe criticisms as illegitimate inventions. The speech aims to solidify domestic support and challenge narratives at global bodies.
