Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, criticizing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for endangering Jewish residents by spreading what he called "lies" about Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Netanyahu referred to Mamdani as “the antisemitic mayor of New York” and accused him of making Jews feel unsafe in the city. Earlier, Mamdani had threatened to have Netanyahu detained if he visited New York due to his criticism of Israeli policies, a stance that has led to escalating tensions between the two officials.

This event highlighted ongoing tensions over Israel's actions in Gaza and Iran, with some nations expressing support for accountability under international law while others defended Netanyahu's stance. The incident underscored divisions within the global community regarding responses to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and criticisms of ICC's authority faced by Washington and Tel Aviv.
