New York City experienced tension after the city's mayor, Zehran Mamdani, launched a sharp attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him as a "war criminal" and the "architect of genocide" against the Palestinian people. This occurred just before Netanyahu's visit to New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly sessions. Mamdani also confirmed that an arrest warrant had been issued against Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, although local authorities do not legally have the authority to execute it. In response, Netanyahu criticized Mamdani, calling him an "inciter against Jews," as he prepared to deliver a speech at the United Nations. Security measures were also intensified, including shortening his visit duration and not staying overnight in the city to prevent protests against him, amidst demonstrations in support of the Palestinians. It is noted that Israel has been engaging in a genocidal war in Gaza since October 2023, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries, despite a ceasefire declared in October 2025.
