ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN. NETANYAHU IS ACCUSING NEW YORK. CITY MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI OF. FERMENTING HATE AFTER THE. MARRIAGE THREATENED TO ARREST. THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE MAYOR. LATER WALK THAT BACK ADMITTING. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY. TO CARRY OUT THE RESTAURANT. CONTINUES TO CALL NETANYAHU A. WAR CRIMINAL FOR CB COTTON HAS. THE LATEST NEW YORK CITY. CORRECT ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU RESPONDED. THIS MORNING TO NEW YORK CITY. MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI. HE HAS SAID WHAT HE CAN TO THE. FEDS CAN AND SHOULD ARREST THE. ISRAELI LEADER. NETANYAHU SUGGESTED TO OUR MARIA. THAT MAYORS ARE RHETORIC LIKE. THIS WILL NOT IMPACT HIS TRAVEL. PLANS OF THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THIS FALL. HE ALSO ACCUSED MAMDANI OF. DIVIDING NEW YORKERS. >> HE IS FERMENTING HATE TOO. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAYOR. OF ALL NEW YORKERS JEWS,

CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS EVERYONE HE. IS TRYING TO TURN ONE GROUP. AGAINST THE OTHER HE IS FOISTING. HATE AND FEAR. I SPEAK TO JEWISH AMERICANS IN. NEW YORK AND THEY ARE AFRAID. RIGHT NOW. NETANYAHU RESPONSE OF TWO DAYS. AFTER A SUSPECT WAS ARRAIGNED ON. HATE CRIME CHARGE IS A STABBING. OF A JEWISH MAN AND AN ASIAN MAN. ON NEW YORK CITY'S UPPER WEST. SIDE. THE CRIME HAPPENED THE SAME WEEK. THAT MAMDANI RELEASED A VIDEO. CALLING NETANYAHU A WAR. CRIMINAL. NETANYAHU ALSO TOLD MARIA THAT.

TIMING IS NO COINCIDENCE. I DON'T THINK IT IS ACCIDENTAL. THAT AFTER HE MADE THIS HATE. SPEECH AGAINST ISRAEL AND. AGAINST ME, THE NEXT DAY A JEW. IS STABBED COMING OUT OF A SENSE. OF GOD I CRY OF WORD JEWISH NEW. YORKERS GATHERED TODAY FEEL THE. SAME ACCUSING THE MAYOR OF. STOKING ANTI-SEMITISM. >> WHEN HATE IS EXCUSED OR. NORMALIZED, EVERYBODY PAYS THE.

PRICE. TODAY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IS. FACING AN ALARMING RISE IN JEW. HATRED AND VIOLENCE. THIS IS THAT MOMENT FOR OUR. LEADERS TO SHOW UP HERE. >> SO MAYOR MAMDANI HAS. REPEATEDLY REJECTED ALLEGATIONS. OF ANTI-SEMITISM SAYING HIS. CRITICISM IS OF THE ISRAELI. GOVERNMENT AND NOT THE JEWISH. PEOPLE AND THE JEWISH FAITH FOR. THIS WEEK HE MADE REPEATED. STATEMENTS VOWING TO PROTECT. EVERY NEW YORKER REGARDLESS OF. THEIR BACKGROUND OR POLITICS.

JON: EB COTTON, THANK YOU. SO MAYOR MAMDANI IS STILL URGENT. NEW YORKERS TO PROTEST THE. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER VISIT TO. THE CITY IN SEPTEMBER. BUT I THINK WERE THE BEDROCK'S. OF OUR CITY'S PROTEST. IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN A. PART OF WHAT MAKES HER CITY SO. SPECIAL THAT NEW YORKERS CAN. EXPRESS THEMSELVES WHETHER THEY. ARE IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION NO. MATTER ON WHATEVER TOPIC. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE. WHO'S BEEN CHARGED WITH CRIMES.

AGAINST HUMANITY. SOME WAS ADMITTED ON AND HAS. BEEN WELCOMED BY PREVIOUS MAYORS. I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR. THAT WELCOME ENDS WITH ME. JON: LET'S BRING IN. CONGRESSWOMAN REPUBLICAN OF NEW. YORK A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE WAYS. AND MEANS COMMITTEE. THE MAYOR IS SAYING I DON'T. REALLY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO. ARREST MANAGEMENT NETANYAHU BUT. NEW YORKERS SHOULD GO OUT AND. PROTEST HIS VISIT TO THE U UN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? >> WHETHER IT'S CALLS FOR THE. ARREST OF NETANYAHU OR GETTING. NEW YORKERS TO PROTEST TREND. WHAT IT'S HOW JUVENILE AND LACK. OF EXPERIENCE THIS MAYOR HAS. I DON'T REMEMBER AN EVENT I NEW. YORKER MY WHOLE LIFE I NEVER. RECALL A MAYOR ENCOURAGING. PEOPLE TO PROTEST AND HAVE. UNREST. I BELIEVE THIS WILL TURN INTO. UNREST I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO.

BE A PEACEFUL DISPLAY. UNFORTUNATELY. MAYORS OF COURSE HAVE SAID. PEACEFULLY PROTEST THAT IS WHEN. THE PEOPLE COME OUT AND PROTEST. ALREADY IT IS NOT URGING THIS. TYPE OF ACTIVITY I THINK IT IS. JUST STOKING THE FLAMES OF. ANTI-SEMITISM IN OUR CITY WE SAW. WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WHEN. EIGHT JEWISH MAN WAS STABBED YOU. SEE JEWISH NEW YORKERS REGULARLY. SAYING THEY ARE AFRAID TO WEAR A. YARMULKE OR DESPITE THEIR STAR. OF DAVID ON FEAR OF BEING.

ATTACKED RIGHTFULLY THEY ARE. SEEING THIS WE HAVE SEEN A SHARP. INCREASE IN ANTI-SEMITIC CRIMES. IN THE CITY SINCE THIS MAYOR. TOOK OFFICE WAS 187% INCREASE. OVER 50%, 57% OF THE HATE CRIMES. IN THE CITY ARE TARGETING OUR. JEWISH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. >> THE FORMER MAYOR, ERIC ADAMS. HOME MAMDANI REPLACED SAID IT IS. A MISTAKE TO BE PICKING WINNERS.

AND LOSERS AMONG YOUR ETHNIC. GROUPS IN THE CITY. LISTEN. >> NOTE GROUP IN THEIR CITY AND. THERE SHOULD BE NO ROOM FOR. HATE. THAT TERMINOLOGY SHOULD BE. COMING FROM CITY HALL A VERY. CLEAR MESSAGE. YOU CANNOT VACILLATE AND BE. UNCLEAR. THE MESSAGE MUST BE CLEAR. JEWISH RESIDENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO. LIVE IN THE CITY THAHAT THEY ARE. VERY MUCH A PART OF.

JON: IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING YOUR. MOTHER IT WAS CUTE WHEN YOUR. FATHER WAS GREEK. YOU KNOW LITTLE ABOUT ETHNIC. POLITICS AND HELP ETHNIC GROUPS. SURVIVE IN NEW YORK CITY. AND THRIVE. >> THAT IS RIGHT MY DISTRICT IS. VERY DIVERSE IT'S A MICROCOSM OF. THE CITY OF NEW YORK THE. DIVERSITY IS WHAT MAKES A CITY. SO GREAT. THE MAYOR IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO. BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER OR LET THE. VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS AND. RELIGIOUS GROUPS FEEL. COMFORTABLE FOR YOU DO NOT SEE. HIM GOING TO SYNAGOGUES.

DO NOT SEE THEM GOING TO JEWISH. COMMUNITY CENTERS YOU DO NOT SEE. HIM POSTING PRESS CONFERENCES. AND DOING EVENTS WITH THE JEWISH. NEW YORKERS THAT SENDS A. TERRIBLE MESSAGE TO THE CITY, TO. THE COUNTRY INTO THE WORLD QUITE. FRANKLY HE HAS A MAJOR PLATFORM. AS THAT MAYOR OF THE LARGEST. CITY IN THE WORLD NEW YORK CITY. HE NEEDS TO, DO MORE OUTREACH. AND SHOW HE IS A MAYOR FOR ALL. NEW YORKERS I CAN SAY THE JEWISH.

NEW YORKERS FEEL LIKE HE IS. THERE MAYOR OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. FEEL IS NOT SIN HIM FOR THEM. EITHER. >> HE'S GOT HIS OWN PROBLEMS TO. SOLVE IN NEW YORK THAT MAKES Y.
