Netanyahu Slams NYC Mayor Mamdani Over ICC Warrant Push

Netanyahu made the comments during an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, where he criticized Mamdani for supporting efforts to secure an International Criminal Court warrant against him.

The Israeli leader said the mayor was trying to turn groups against each other in New York City, which he described as a place where diverse communities have long coexisted.

Mamdani, a Democrat, has been vocal in his criticism of Israel’s military operations in Gaza and has called for accountability through international legal channels.

The ICC is investigating alleged war crimes by both Israeli forces and Palestinian militants during the recent conflict, though Israel is not a party to the court and rejects its jurisdiction.

Netanyahu’s remarks come amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the conduct of the war, with some American politicians urging restraint.
