During the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address that directly attacked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel, accusing him of antisemitism.
In response, Mayor Mamdani accused Netanyahu of utilizing his UN platform to repeat "baseless lies" and to sanitise what he termed Israel's "genocide of Palestinians."
Ahead of the address, Netanyahu's office confirmed that the Israeli government funded 500 pro-Israel and anti-Iran billboards alongside dozens of messaging trucks across Manhattan.
