Mamdani, Netanyahu Trade Barbs Ahead of UN Visit & Washington Meeting
Netanyahu said Mamdani is fomenting hate after the mayor backed an ICC warrant, as Brown University data says more than 73,000 Palestinians died.
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of "fomenting hate" following the mayor's repeated calls for an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli leader.

- During a television interview, Netanyahu argued the mayor's rhetoric contributes to "growing fears" within New York's Jewish community, pointing to a recent Upper West Side stabbing as evidence of division.
- President Donald Trump stated Netanyahu will not be arrested "in any way, shape, or form" while on American soil, while Mamdani dismissed the feud on Monday, saying he is "not interested in getting into a back-and-forth."
- Netanyahu plans to attend the United Nations General Assembly in September despite the criticism, while traveling to Washington for high-level security meetings with President Donald Trump.
