Netanyahu Slams NYC Mayor Over Arrest Demand

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani of ‘fomenting hate’ after Mamdani called for his arrest over Gaza war crimes charges.

Netanyahu vowed to attend the UN General Assembly in New York despite the ICC warrant.

The mayor had urged the US government to execute the arrest warrant, calling Netanyahu a war criminal.

The exchange further inflamed tensions between Israeli leaders and progressive US politicians.
