Netanyahu to UN Walkout: "Any Other Moral Cowards?" Then He Named Mamdani
More than 100 delegates walked out as Benjamin Netanyahu took the UN podium. His first words to them: "If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now."
Netanyahu is heard in his own voice, from the UN's own record. Mamdani's words are from his written statement.
The reporting
Claim: On 24 September 2026 more than 100 delegates walked out of the UN General Assembly as Benjamin Netanyahu took the podium. He opened: "If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now." Later he addressed New York's mayor by name: "Mr. Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews no longer feel safe in New York" and "Mr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here ... you can't silence the truth." Zohran Mamdani answered in a written statement: "baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians", and pointed to the ICC arrest warrant.

What the reel says
Narration as scripted and voiced.
More than a hundred delegates got up and walked out as Benjamin Netanyahu came to the podium. He waited for the aisles to clear, and then he spoke to them
If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much.
Later in the speech, he turned to a man who was not in the hall, the mayor of New York
Mr. Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews no longer feel safe in New York.
Mr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you can't silence me. You can't silence the truth.
Zohran Mamdani answered in a written statement. He called the speech baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians
Mamdani pointed to the International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu's arrest issued in November 2024 over the war in Gaza. Israel rejects the court's authority
He said the mayor tried to silence him. He spoke for more than half an hour in the mayor's own city
