Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to deliver a sharp critique of New York University professor Mahmood Mamdani during his upcoming address at the United Nations, framing it as part of a broader campaign against what he calls "delegitimization" of Israel. The speech is expected to target Mamdani’s recent comments, which Netanyahu has described as part of a pattern of anti-Israel rhetoric on university campuses. Critics argue such remarks contribute to a growing climate of hostility toward Israel, while supporters defend academic freedom and the right to debate controversial issues. The address may further escalate tensions between Israel and its academic critics on the global stage.
