Netanyahu Vows to Target NYC Mayor Mamdani in UN Speech
Netanyahu said he will defend Israel’s war actions and accuse Mamdani of backing Hamas as the mayor renews calls to honor an ICC warrant.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video confirming he will travel to New York this week to address the United Nations General Assembly, vowing to defend Israel's military actions and accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas.
- Mayor Mamdani escalated tensions during a Monday CNN interview, labeling Netanyahu a "war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide" while urging federal authorities to honor the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.
- Although Mamdani previously campaigned on arresting the prime minister, his administration's Law Department concluded the city lacks legal authority to execute the ICC warrant, as the United States is not a party to the court.
- In his video response, Netanyahu declared, "Shame on you, Mr. Mamdani," alleging the mayor supports "Hamas terrorist monsters" and incites riots against Jewish residents, charges Mamdani has consistently denied.
- Protests are expected outside U.N. headquarters as Netanyahu arrives Thursday for his address, which officials say will counter what they describe as false narratives regarding Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
