Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of "fomenting hate," claiming the mayor's rhetoric is making Jewish residents of New York fearful. The comments, made during an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," add to ongoing tension between the two figures and come amid wider debate over antisemitism and political rhetoric in the city.

Netanyahu used the interview to confirm he intends to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York despite Mamdani's calls for him to be arrested under an International Criminal Court warrant. He also addressed Israel's military strategy in relation to Iran and Hezbollah during the same appearance.
