Netanyahu Vows to Target NYC Mayor Mamdani in UN Speech
Netanyahu said he will answer Mamdani’s criticism in his UN address as the ICC warrant dispute and Gaza war toll deepen the clash.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video vowing to 'expose the truth' about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his United Nations General Assembly address scheduled for Thursday.
- Mamdani escalated tensions by describing Netanyahu as a 'war criminal' and 'architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people' in a Monday CNN interview, reiterating calls for federal authorities to honor the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant.
- Despite campaigning on arresting Netanyahu, Mamdani's administration concluded in July that New York City lacks independent legal authority to enforce the warrant, leaving the measure to federal officials.
- Netanyahu accused the mayor of supporting Hamas and 'inciting riots against New York Jews' in his video, as local authorities prepare for protests during his brief 24-hour visit.
- Nearly 130 heads of state will attend the General Assembly, where Netanyahu plans to defend Israel's military actions and directly confront the mayor's characterizations from the UN podium.
