'Enough with the Blood Libels': Danon Decries Mamdani's Labeling of Netanyahu as War Criminal
Mamdani said the federal government should act after the ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes.
- On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted a video calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and urging his arrest if he visits the city, citing his responsibility to address human rights violations.
- Citing the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant, Mamdani acknowledged New York lacks independent legal authority to enforce it, though he had promised during his 2025 campaign to pursue Netanyahu's detention if elected.
- Former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett condemned the remarks as "pure antisemitism," asserting the mayor failed to acknowledge the October 7 Hamas-led massacre that triggered the war.
- President Donald Trump stated this week that Netanyahu will not be arrested while visiting the United States, while Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon accused Mamdani of promoting "Hamas propaganda" instead of serving constituents.
- Netanyahu is expected to visit New York for the United Nations General Assembly in September, as the confrontation underscores ongoing tensions between Mamdani's administration and Israeli political leaders over the war in Gaza.
