Quick Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he found it strange when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him out by name during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in late September, accusing Mamdani of spreading lies about Israel. Netanyahu's comments came after Mamdani had previously vowed to have Netanyahu arrested if he visited New York due to an International Criminal Court warrant issued for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Mamdani maintained that the dispute is not personal but rather a matter of holding Netanyahu accountable for alleged genocide, while also criticizing Netanyahu’s attempt to deflect attention from his responsibilities.

Story summary

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, stated that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, was attempting to distract from Israel's responsibility in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza when Netanyahu criticized him at the U.N. General Assembly on September 24 in New York City. During his speech, Netanyahu accused Mamdani of spreading lies about Israel and supporting Hamas. Mamdani previously called for Netanyahu’s arrest if he visited New York, arguing that Netanyahu was responsible for a genocide against Palestinians. Mamdani found it "strange" to be addressed directly by Netanyahu while he was meeting with the prime minister of the Netherlands at an LGBTQ center in downtown Manhattan shortly after the U.N. speech.
