New York City’s mayor is holding private discussions with union leaders about 2028. Progressives are seeking a candidate with strong working-class credentials, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s plans remain undecided.
Hours before heading to New York for the UN General Assembly, Benjamin Netanyahu escalated his confrontation with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of siding with Hamas and fueling hostility toward the city’s Jewish community. The Israeli prime minister says he will use the UN stage to defend Israel’s soldiers and challenge what his government sees as a distorted international narrative over Gaza. Mamdani rejects accusations of antisemitism and maintains that his criticism is directed at Israel’s government and its conduct of the war.
