Throughout the address, he directed sharp criticism at New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, condemned Western European governments and accused Qatar and Turkey of disseminating falsehoods regarding Israel

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Abbas’s UN address being prerecorded or video-based and on his call for Palestinian statehood or a two-state solution; the New York Times is the only one to foreground his accusation of a “genocidal war,” and the AP and The Hill note separately that he was denied a visa. Several outlets also pivot to Netanyahu’s speech, where the common framing is that many delegates walked out, while CNN and The Guardian add that some delegates stayed to applaud or chant in support.
