Netanyahu Vows to Target NYC Mayor Mamdani in UN Speech
Netanyahu will attack Mamdani in a speech he says will defend Israel’s war in Gaza and highlight his isolation before a close election.
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly, using his speech to attack New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani over the mayor's characterization of him as a 'war criminal'.
- Their months-long feud escalated after Mamdani campaigned on arresting Netanyahu under an International Criminal Court warrant, a move he later acknowledged he lacked the legal authority to execute as New York mayor.
- Accusing Mamdani of supporting 'Hamas terrorist monsters' and inciting violence, Netanyahu posted a video rebuttal; Mamdani dismissed the claims as false, labeling Netanyahu the 'architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians'.
- The Israeli leader's six-hour visit notably excludes meetings with United States officials, including President Donald Trump, as Netanyahu faces deepening diplomatic isolation ahead of his October 27 election.
- Demonstrations are planned near the UN headquarters as Netanyahu's remarks come amid broader diplomatic tension, with numerous delegations previously walking out during his appearances to protest Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
