Netanyahu Accuses New York Mayor of Supporting Terror Axis and Hating America

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in an interview with American broadcaster Sid Rosenberg on 77 WABC's "Sid & Friends in the Morning." Netanyahu accused Mamdani of siding with Hamas and Iran, describing him as part of the camp opposing both Israel and the United States. He stated, "Who does he support? Hamas, which openly calls for the massacre of every Jew on earth and has carried out the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust." Netanyahu further condemned Mamdani for apologizing for and justifying Iran, which he called "the greatest terror regime on earth," noting its open calls for the assassination of former President Trump and other officials.

Netanyahu emphasized that Mamdani stands with the "axis of terror," adding that the mayor either does not recognize or does not care that those who hate Jews and Israel ultimately hate America as well. He concluded by asserting, "In fact, I think he secretly hates America." This interview highlights the ongoing tensions between Netanyahu and political figures perceived as critical of Israel and its policies. No immediate response from Mamdani was reported following Netanyahu's remarks.
