Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed he will attend the UN General Assembly in New York City in September.
I figured Netanyahu would, even though communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani threatened to arrest him and encouraged people to “protest” him.
Netanyahu told Sean Hannity:
But I’m definitely going there. I’m going to speak the truth in front of this, you know. There’s just hate spewing elected official who’s pitting one group of New Yorkers against the others. He’s turning them against New York Jews. I mean, what, are we in the 1930s? What is this? You know, so much hate, so many lies.
Mamdani campaigned on arresting Netanyahu if the prime minister traveled to NYC to fulfill the ICC arrest warrant.
The communist admitted his administration couldn’t arrest Netanyahu because duh.
However, Mamdani dropped hints in his video for fellow antisemites on what they can do when Netanyahu visits NYC.
Mamdani then said it out loud a day later:
I think one of the bedrocks of our city is protest. It is something that has been a part of what makes our city so special-that New Yorkers can express themselves whether they are in support or in opposition, no matter or whatever time. And I’ve always said that when we respect our Constitution, we also respect our First Amendment. And here in New York City, there will always be a place where you can exercise that.And when it comes to the first question, you know, I have made clear both that I believe that this is an arrest warrant that should be executed, and also that I would follow the laws that we had, and I would be respectful of those laws. And that is why I asked my administration to review all applicable laws.This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect.
