Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu name‑checked streamer and commentator Hasan Piker during a United Nations General Assembly speech, according to circulated clips and online posts. In the same address he attacked New York City councilmember Zohran Mamdani, calling him antisemitic and tying Mamdani to Piker, per multiple posts quoting the speech. Videos and posts of the segment spread online, with some responses mocking the choice to single out a streamer and others warning that the mention could endanger Piker. The moment has become a prominent clip from Netanyahu’s UN appearance and a talking point in subsequent online political commentary.

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Yes, Netanyahu spent a portion of his UN speech calling out Hasan Piker. What a fucking lunatic.
