Netanyahu Vows to Target NYC Mayor Mamdani in UN Speech
Netanyahu accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas and vowed to defend Israel as protests and heightened security built around the U.N., officials said.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in New York City for an unusually brief six-hour visit to address the United Nations General Assembly and confront Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
- Mamdani's campaign vow to enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Netanyahu fueled their months-long feud; the mayor later acknowledged he lacked legal authority to execute it.
- The NYPD warned of mass demonstrations near the United Nations throughout the General Assembly, with groups like the Palestinian Youth Movement and Jewish Voice for Peace planning to confront Netanyahu.
- Netanyahu's reception at the UN was expected to be cold, as mass walkouts often marked his previous appearances, while his address focused on Iran rather than diplomatic meetings.
- Facing an October 27 election, analysts suggested the address targeted the Israeli public; no meetings with President Donald Trump emphasized Netanyahu's distancing from key international allies.
