Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lands in New York for a visit, amid the convening of the UN General Assembly. Mayor Eric Adams, known for his criticism of Israel, gave an interview to CNN in which he called Netanyahu a "war criminal" and "the architect of a horrific genocide." However, Adams was forced to admit live on air that he has no legal authority to enforce the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants against Netanyahu, thus backtracking from his campaign promise to order the NYPD to arrest him. Adams explained that he believes the warrants should be respected, but he cannot enforce them. Protests are planned ahead of Netanyahu's visit, but Adams clarified he will not participate. Meanwhile, Adams met with President Trump and discussed a housing project in Queens and the cost of living, while maintaining open disagreements on other issues.
