Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, vowing to reveal what he described as the "truth" about the mayor during his upcoming address at the United Nations General Assembly.
In a video message posted on X, formerly Twitter, Netanyahu directly addressed Mamdani, stating, "Shame on you, Mr. Mamdani. Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against New York Jews."
Netanyahu's remarks appear to be a response to Mamdani's previous statements and actions concerning the ongoing conflict. Mamdani had previously called for New Yorkers to protest Netanyahu's visit to the city, though he has since attempted to distance himself from those calls and has acknowledged his inability to fulfill a campaign promise to personally arrest the prime minister.
"I’m coming to the UN. I’m going to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers and I’m gonna tell the truth about you," Netanyahu declared in the video.
Mamdani has recently reiterated his stance, accusing Netanyahu of perpetrating a "genocide" in Gaza and calling for intervention from the International Criminal Court. These comments were made following a meeting with former President Donald Trump at Gracie Mansion and during a CNN interview.
"When it comes to Benjamin Netanyahu, I have described him as I believe him to be — a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people," Mamdani stated in the interview.
