"The meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly, was an opportunity for Adams to reaffirm his support for Israel and the embattled wartime prime minister, offering a stark contrast to Democratic nominee and front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who has accused the Israeli government of committing genocide in Gaza and apartheid in the occupied West Bank."
"More than 64,000 people have been killed in Gaza during the war, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians but says most of those killed were women and children. More than half a million people across the Gaza City region are experiencing famine, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has said. This month, an independent U.N. commission said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide- an allegation that Israeli leaders have denounced as false."
New York Mayor Eric Adams met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Manhattan and thanked him for defending the western world. Adams reaffirmed support for Israel and the wartime prime minister, contrasting with Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who accused the Israeli government of genocide in Gaza and apartheid in the West Bank. The war began after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis and left roughly 250 hostages. Gaza's Health Ministry reports over 64,000 killed, mostly women and children, and more than half a million facing famine. An independent U.N. commission said Israel's actions amount to genocide, which Israeli leaders denied. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister.
