(NewsNation) — New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani backed off his threat to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he visits the Big Apple, but NewsNation’s Batya Ungar-Sargon tells “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” the damage was done when the mayor encouraged residents to fight back. A suspect with a screwdriver on Thursday stabbed two victims, including a Jewish man, while reportedly yelling, “Allahu Akbar.”
