Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that he will travel to New York to attend the UN General Assembly.

Axar.az reports that Netanyahu made the remarks in an interview with Fox News.

“First of all I’m going to New York... I'm going to speak the truth in front of this hate-spewing elected official," he said.

Israeli PM Netanyahu's attendance at the U.N. General Assembly in September was in question after NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani threatened to make good on the ICC's arrest warrant on the PM.

"He’s pitting one group of New Yorkers against the others. He’s turning them against New York Jews. I mean what are we, in the 1930s? So much hate. So many lies," he added.
