Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of fomenting hate following a threat by the mayor to have him arrested. The remarks came after Mamdani labeled the prime minister a war criminal and threatened his arrest based on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.
Netanyahu criticized the mayor's actions during an appearance on Fox News, arguing that Mamdani is failing in his duty to serve as a leader for all New Yorkers, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
Last week, Mayor Mamdani walked back his initial arrest threat, acknowledging that he lacks the legal authority to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant within the city.
