Netanyahu Accuses Mayor Mamdani of Supporting Hamas Ahead of UN Speech
Netanyahu said 100-plus protesters and Jewish safety fears show Mamdani’s criticism is fueling hostility toward New York’s Jewish community.
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his United Nations General Assembly address to rebuke New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing the mayor of endangering Jewish New Yorkers by spreading "lies" about Israel.
- Earlier this week, Netanyahu released a video statement condemning Mamdani for "inciting riots against New York Jews," vowing to confront the mayor's allegations from the international stage.
- Rejecting the claims, Mamdani pointed to an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for the prime minister and labeled Netanyahu the "architect of a horrific genocide" against Palestinians.
- "Many Jews no longer feel safe in New York," Netanyahu told world leaders, claiming the city changed rapidly since Mamdani's election and deepening local security tensions.
- The dispute reflects a broader international battle over Israel's military conduct since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, when terrorists killed approximately 1,200 people and abducted 251 hostages.
