    Netanyahu lambasts Israel’s critics at UN as New York protesters detained | First Thing

    More than 100 people arrested, including celebrities, while Israeli PM was claiming war on Gaza is ‘the opposite of genocide’. Plus a Guardian investigation reveals the extents to which some convenience stores fail to honor their prices Good morning. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered an inflammatory address to the UN in New York, decrying what he said was a global anti-Jewish conspiracy and taking aim at critics of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He branded Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a “tyrant”, described Zohran Mamdani as the “antisemitic mayor of New York”, and declared that Israel’s war in Gaza was not a genocide, “it’s the opposite of genocide”. Netanyahu delivered his address just hours after the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said his delegation was “unlawfully” denied visas by the Trump administration to attend the meeting. Dozens of delegates, inspired by a Palestinian call, walked out of the General Assembly Hall of the UN headquarters as Netanyahu took the stage. What was the reaction on the streets of New York? More than 100 people were arrested outside the UN headquarters as Netanyahu made his address, after a protest drew hundreds of Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian and Lebanese New Yorkers, among others. Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among those detained . What has rapper Macklemore announced? The US rapper, removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour after voicing support of Palestine, has convened a Free Palestine tour to benefit humanitarian aid organisations. The charity show will visit Dublin, Paris and London, with a North American run to be announced. What happened in the Senate about the war? Senate Republicans have blocked a Democratic effort to end the US war with Iran, voting down a House-passed war powers resolution. The measure, which passed the House last week with bipartisan support, failed in the Senate by a 49-50 vote, attracting some Republican support, but not enough to pass. What other developments have there been in the Middle East? Saudi Arabia says it intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, with the latest attacks pushing oil prices ⁠to a one-week high over fears of spiralling supply disruptions.
