Netanyahu and NYC Mayor Mamdani trade accusations ahead of UNGA

–

Neutral summary

A public feud between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani escalated ahead of Netanyahu's visit to the UN General Assembly. On Monday, Mamdani told CNN that Netanyahu is “a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide” of the Palestinian people and called for the ICC arrest warrant against him to be honored, while acknowledging he lacks the authority to arrest the prime minister. On Tuesday, Netanyahu released a video message accusing the mayor of supporting Hamas and inciting violence against Jews in New York, promising to “tell the truth” about him in his UN speech. Netanyahu is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Thursday, marking his first visit to New York since Mamdani's calls for his arrest. The Israeli leader also said he would defend Israel's military operations in Gaza. Mamdani responded by citing the ICC warrant and reiterating that no one should be above international law. The New York Times reported that Netanyahu's accusations against Mamdani are false, while other outlets, including The Jerusalem Post and New York Post, reported them without such a characterization. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre met Mamdani on Tuesday evening and gave him a Norway national team jersey signed by Martin Ødegaard.
