Former Chicago Mayor and Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said he confronted Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his anti-Israel views in a heated exchange. Mamdani\u2019s communications director later said it never happened.<\/p>\n

Emanuel made the claim in a Wednesday clip from the \u201cUnholy Podcast,\u201d with the tagline \u201cTwo Jews on the News,\u201d where the hosts asked the former mayor what he had discussed with Mamdani during a 90-minute meeting.

Emanuel spent the majority of the time discussing what it was like to be mayor. The other 15 minutes, Emanuel said, were spent calling out Mamdani for focusing much of his time as a mayor on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re mayor, time goes faster, and you\u2019ve got to make choices: what\u2019s an \u2018A,\u2019 what\u2019s a \u2018B,\u2019\u201d Emanuel said he told Mamdani as the conversation shifted to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Look, you are your father\u2019s son. I\u2019m my father\u2019s son,\u2019\u201d he allegedly told the first-generation immigrant from Uganda and Shia Muslim mayor. \u201c\u2019You chant \u2018a river to the sea,\u2019 that means there will never be a Jewish homeland for Jews who had faced the Holocaust.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018I want you to hear this,\u2019\u201d Emanuel said he told Mamdani. \u201c\u2019Over my dead body.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani has been very critical of Israel and especially of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom the mayor has previously called for his arrest, labeling him a \u201cwar criminal.\u201d Mamdani would later walk back the threat after apparently learning he did not have the legal authority to do so.<\/p>\n

Replying to the clip Wednesday, Mamdani\u2019s communications director, Anna Bahr, said that the exchange did not happen, implying Emanuel is lying. She did not provide any additional information.<\/p>\n
