Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused a prominent academic of endangering Jewish communities in New York by allegedly spreading misleading claims about Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The remarks follow growing tensions over public statements criticizing the government’s conduct during the ongoing conflict. Netanyahu’s comments highlight the broader debate over free speech and its perceived impact on Jewish safety in the U.S. amid rising concerns over antisemitism. The controversy underscores deep divisions over how Israel’s actions are discussed in global forums.
