Mamdani later noted New York City Police do not have the legal authority to detain Netanyahu. As Netanyahu took to the stage, Mamdani took a not-so-subtle jab at the Israeli PM with a post to Instagram which featured him meeting with Palestinian families from war-ravaged Gaza.

Headline check

One of the three things this headline claims is not in the report.

  • The headline puts “‘antisemitism’” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked

A feud between Israeli rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has escalated with one making an address to the United Nations and the other meeting with Palestinian immigrants.

Netanyahu travelled from Israel to the Big Apple to speak before the UN’s General Assembly at 2pm on Thursday, local time.

During the speech he labelled Mamdani as the “antisemitic mayor of New York” and said that “Jews no longer feel safe” in the city since he took office.

The comments come after Mamdani last year said Netanyahu would be arrested if he were to step foot in New York City, in accordance with an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.

The warrant alleges Netanyahu has played a role in war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Israel-Hamas war. Mamdani later noted New York City Police do not have the legal authority to detain Netanyahu.

“Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here, you tried to silence me”

The video shows Mamdani meeting with Palestinian families to plant an olive tree, a cultural emblem for Palestinians, at the mayor’s home Gracie Manor.
