WATCH: Netanyahu slams Mamdani for inciting hatred against Jews

The New York City mayor is “foisting hate and fear” among American Jews, “tormenting his own citizens, his own voters,” the Israeli premier says.

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.

Watch Netanyahu’s full message below.

The IDF chief hailed the first operative Haredi battalion, comparing it to the first biblical character that dared walk into the Red Sea.

The strikes came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump warned Washington would be “hitting them hard.”
Prosecutors said Hadi Matar researched Iran’s fatwa on the author for more than a year and carried out the attack in support of Hezbollah.
The Foreign Ministry said that the record figures reflect “the strength, resilience and global competitiveness” of the country’s economy.
