Netanyahu blasts NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for ‘fomenting hate’ over ‘bogus’ Gaza war crimes charges

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for urging federal authorities to arrest him over International Criminal Court (ICC) war crimes charges in Gaza. Mamdani stated New York lacks legal authority for the arrest but called on federal agencies to act. Netanyahu dismissed the ICC charges as 'bogus' and warned about eroding bipartisan U.S. support for Israel and rising antisemitism.
