Calls Increase to Arrest Netanyahu in New York
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly meetings and deliver a speech before the 81st session. His visit comes amid calls and protests demanding his arrest following an International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued against him on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel denies the allegations. Tensions have escalated with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who described Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and a "mass murderer," and called for respecting the arrest warrant. Netanyahu, in turn, accused him of supporting Hamas and inciting against Jews. Netanyahu is scheduled to deliver his speech before the General Assembly today before leaving New York to return to Israel. Despite anticipated protests, the Israeli ambassador confirmed that Netanyahu's presence is important and that he will proceed with his speech despite the demonstrations.
