00:00Shame on you, Mr. Memdani. Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who butchered our people. Shame on
00:07you for inciting riots. I'm going to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers, and I'm going to tell the
00:12truth about you.
00:14Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on the offensive Tuesday, threatening to expose New York City's lefty mayor Zoram Memdani
00:21when he's in town to address the U.N. General Assembly later this week.
00:25In a fiery video published on X, Israel's head honcho shamed Memdani for, quote, supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who
00:32butchered our people and, quote, inciting riots against New York Jews.
00:36Netanyahu's video message follows his honor's renewed calls that the Israeli leader should be arrested when he arrives in the
00:42Big Apple for the United Nations General Assembly.
00:45After a cordial meeting with President Trump at Gracie Mansion Monday, Memdani sat down for an interview with CNN, where
00:50he doubled down on his criticisms of Netanyahu, describing the leader as a, quote, war criminal.
00:55When it comes to Benjamin Netanyahu, I have described him as I believe him to be, a war criminal.
01:00Memdani has continuously butted heads with the Israeli leader.
01:03In one video posted in July, the socialist mayor called out Netanyahu as the, quote, architect of a horrific genocide
01:10against the Palestinian people.
01:11There is a reason the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest.
01:15As human beings, we have spent generations building a shared understanding that there are crimes so grave they offend all
01:22of humanity.
01:23Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war criminal at large.
01:27The mayor was even more direct during an interview with The New York Times when he said he believed the
01:33Israeli leader, quote, belongs in The Hague.
01:35But Netanyahu has been defiant against Memdani, telling Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in July that the mayor was, quote, fomenting
01:42hate and that his threats didn't hold water.
01:44So I think that it's shameful. This thing is very bad for New York. I think it's very bad for
01:50peace.
01:51But the answer to your question, I intend to come and speak the truth, speak for Israel and for the
01:57Israeli-American alliance from the podium of the United Nations.
02:01In 2024, the International Criminal Court issued warrants against Netanyahu, alleging that he committed crimes against humanity.
02:08Neither the U.S. nor Israel recognized the court, which has no police force or means of enforcing an arrest.
02:13Though Memdani desperately sought a legal loophole to arrest the Israeli prime minister, the Democratic Socialists backed down his efforts,
02:20admitting that he didn't have the legal authority.
02:22Netanyahu is slated to speak at the U.N. on Thursday.
