Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has recently joined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team as they face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC) over their response to the Oct. 7, 2023 attack. Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid harassment allegations, condemned antisemitism at a dinner with New York's Jewish community leaders.
Cuomo criticized the whitewashing of Hamas kidnappings and murders in Israel and expressed pride in supporting Netanyahu's defense against the ICC arrest warrant. He emphasized the importance of standing against antisemitism and highlighted the need for accurate reporting on incidents involving the Jewish community.
