BREAKING VIDEO: NYC MAYOR MAMDANI: ‘NETANYAHU IS NOT WELCOME IN NYC’
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is drawing sharp criticism after releasing a video in which he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal” and said he is “not welcome in New York City.” In the video, Mamdani said he supports the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and called on the U.S. government to enforce it if the Israeli leader visits the United States. He acknowledged that New York City itself does not have the legal authority to make such an arrest. The remarks immediately sparked backlash from many pro-Israel leaders and supporters, who say Mamdani’s comments further strain his relationship with New York’s large Jewish community. Supporters of Mamdani argue that his criticism is directed at the Israeli government’s conduct in Gaza and reflects his views on international law.
