What to know

  • Netanyahu accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas and inciting anti-Jewish violence; Hochul flatly rejected the claims as false and damaging to Netanyahu's own credibility.
  • Hochul, an Israel supporter who visited after Oct. 7, 2023, sided with Mamdani on the factual dispute while acknowledging her disagreements with the mayor on broader Israel policy.
  • Mamdani countered by highlighting Netanyahu's pending ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes, reframing the credibility question.

“The mayor has not called for riots against Jewish people in this city, either. … Not telling the truth is something that needs to be called out.”
