New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday dismissed Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that he was "fomenting hate", saying he was "not interested in getting into a back-and-forth" with the Israeli prime minister over his past support for the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against him.

After months of tough talk, Zohran Mamdani finally had to admit what many knew all along: He has absolutely no authority to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu says New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” by calling the prime minister a war criminal who should be arrested if he visits the city.
