Netanyahu Responds to Mamdani Over New York Visit
Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed plans to visit New York in September to address the United Nations General Assembly, rejecting attempts by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to declare him unwelcome. Speaking on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Netanyahu said his answer to Mamdani was that he would come to New York "to fight for the truth of the Jewish people."
Netanyahu accused Mamdani of aligning with "Hamas murderers" after the mayor called him a war criminal, further alleging that Mamdani's family had celebrated the October 7 attacks, which he described as the worst massacre against Jews since the Holocaust.
