Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Wednesday that “No one will stop me from fighting for Israel’s truth,” referring to his expected attendance at the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September, in light of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s message that he is unwelcome in the city.
In a video posted on X, Netanyahu accused Mamdani and his wife, Rama Duwaji, of “celebrating” the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in Israel’s south on Oct. 7, 2023.
The New York mayor is “foisting hate and fear” among American Jews, the prime minister continued.
He further linked a “hate speech” Mamdani delivered against Israel and himself to a stabbing attack against a Jewish man in the Big Apple the next day.
