Netanyahu, Weighing in on New York Mayoral Race, Rips Mamdani’s Proposals as ‘Stupid’

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 21 – Netanyahu warned that Mamdani's tax plan could worsen wealth flight and worsen the cost-of-living crisis in New York City, where an estimated 1.2 million Jews live.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani's campaign proposals as 'nonsense' and predicted Mamdani would serve only one term if elected.
  • Mamdani's platform includes taxing the city's wealthiest residents, freezing rent payments, and resisting federal immigration raids amid a New York cost-of-living crisis and wealth flight.
  • Mamdani has faced criticism for labeling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide, declining to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' while affirming he will not defund the police and will maintain NYPD staffing.
  • Netanyahu also assailed Mamdani’s tax plan as destructive to business, while Mamdani vowed to have Netanyahu arrested if he visited New York, citing the International Criminal Court’s warrant.
  • The mayoral race highlights deep divisions over Israel, taxation, and public safety, with Mamdani’s progressive platform drawing both criticism and significant endorsements within the Democratic establishment.
