Netanyahu Criticizes NYC Mayor Mamdani's Rhetoric Regarding Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of inciting division among New Yorkers through his anti-Israel statements. During an interview on 'Sunday Morning Futures,' Netanyahu stated that Mamdani's rhetoric is making the Jewish community in New York feel unsafe. He claimed that Jewish Americans have expressed growing fear following Mamdani's comments, linking them to a recent stabbing incident outside a Manhattan synagogue. Netanyahu referred to the stabbing of a Jewish man, allegedly by Raul Morales, who reportedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack. He criticized Mamdani's remarks, calling them shameful and detrimental to peace in New York. Mamdani previously labeled Netanyahu a 'war criminal' and called for federal action against him. Despite Mamdani's statements, Netanyahu confirmed his intention to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.
