Israeli Govt Criticizes NYC Mayor Over Netanyahu Comments
New York Mayor Zahran Mamdani's remarks regarding the possibility of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest during the UN General Assembly in September 2024 sparked strong reactions from the Israeli government, which accused him of trying to divert attention from its policies and described his statements as “an attempt to distract public opinion.” The International Criminal Court also criticized the remarks, calling it "a sham court" that has no jurisdiction over Americans and Israelis. It pointed out that the arrest warrant against Netanyahu was issued before he faced any charges for inappropriate conduct, as part of efforts to pursue him over alleged involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza attacks in October 2023. Mamdaní had previously mentioned that he was considering the possibility of arresting Netanyahu at the request of his legal team in New York. Meanwhile, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations criticized Mamdaní's statements, affirming that Netanyahu would speak before the General Assembly with pride.
