U.S.-Israel Relations
News about governmental relations between Israel and the United States
The New York City mayor said his administration did not initiate contact with Iran’s U.N. ambassador while reiterating that the city is reviewing whether it could enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against the Israeli prime minister.
Sharren Haskel is also calling for the New York City mayor to be permanently banned from entering Israel.
Sharren Haskel, recently resigned deputy Israeli minister of foreign affairs, told JNS that the Jewish state had offered the congressman full coordination, briefings, tours and security arrangements for his visit, “all of which he declined and didn’t even bother to reply to.”
“To all the hopeful DSA puppets, Mamdani is about to break one of his core promises: to arrest the sitting prime minister of the only Jewish state,” Inna Vernikov told JNS. “Be angry.”
The U.S. president responded to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani saying that he was exploring options with his legal department.
At its national convention, the American Federation of Teachers also approved a resolution calling for an immediate end to U.S. and Israeli military operations in Iran and Lebanon.
The Prime Minister’s Office accused Zohran Mamdani of attacking the Jewish state after the mayor suggested he could arrest the Israeli leader.
The New York mayor said he is engaged in “an active conversation” with his Law Department on whether he can detain the Israeli premier.
The Washington Democrat told JNS that contrary to media reports, he did not cave to pressure from anti-Israel activists.
The U.S. vice president said Israeli officials sought to shape U.S. public opinion against the administration’s Iran strategy, rejected accusations that he is anti-Israel and defended maintaining a relationship based on shared interests.
Israeli legislators observed a minute of silence to salute one of the Jewish state’s most outspoken supporters in Congress.
