Netanyahu Calls NYC Mayor Mamdani's Arrest Threat 'Fomenting Hate'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of inciting hatred following Mamdani's threat to arrest him. The threat was tied to an International Criminal Court warrant issued against Netanyahu. Mamdani subsequently walked back his statement last week, conceding that he did not have the legal authority to carry out such an arrest. The ICC warrant had been the basis for Mamdani's initial remarks, though enforcement of such warrants by local officials is not legally recognized in the United States.
