US EditionNYC Mayor Mayor Adams, During Trip to Israel, Urges Netanyahu to Attend Mamdani Inauguration Despite Arrest Threat
Outgoing Mayor Adams urged Netanyahu to attend the Jan. 1 inauguration to affirm ties with New York's large Jewish community despite arrest threats.
- On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and urged him to attend Zohran Mamdani's January 1, 2025 inauguration at City Hall.
- The dispute stems from an ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, with mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani pledging to direct the New York Police Department to honor it despite the U.S. not recognizing ICC jurisdiction.
- Framing the visit as a rebuke, Eric Adams, New York City mayor, stressed fighting antisemitism and noted `49% of New Yorkers made it clear that they don't embrace the philosophy of 'anti-Israel,'` city officials said.
- The initial responses left the invitation unresolved while sparking criticism, as Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, did not immediately say if he'd accept it, and Zohran Mamdani called Eric Adams's focus `perplexing` amid housing concerns.
- Adams's taxpayer-funded trip includes senior aides Fabien Levy, Deputy Mayor for Communications, and Menashe Shapiro, Adams deputy chief of staff; he extended the itinerary to Uzbekistan and will return Tuesday.
