NGNew York Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated in an interview with The New York Times that he is considering attempting to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York. Mamdani referenced the International Criminal Court's charges against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza and described Israel as an 'apartheid regime.' He acknowledged uncertainty about his authority to direct the NYPD to detain a foreign leader but emphasized the city would act within legal bounds. Netanyahu's office and Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Mamdani, accusing him of inciting hostility and spreading antisemitism while defending Israel's right to self-defense. Netanyahu himself claimed Mamdani secretly supports Hamas and dislikes America.
