The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday denounced New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he said he is considering whether to arrest the Israeli leader during a coming United Nations summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Mamdani should focus on fixing the damage his policies have caused New York,\u201d Netanyahu\u2019s office said, in a post on its official X account.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike Karim Khan<\/a>, Mamdani appears interested in diverting public attention from his follies and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East.\u201dIn an interview published on Saturday, Mamdani<\/a> said he was consulting New York City\u2019s legal team about the extent of the mayor\u2019s authority to direct police to detain a foreign leader, referring to Netanyahu<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,\u201d Mamdani told The New York Times newspaper. \u201cHe\u2019s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that\u2019s what we will do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday denounced New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[155,59,4096,78389,113962,164,9,24,11,10,15454,980,113960,113959,113961,113799,82],"class_list":["post-300103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-international-criminal-court","tag-israeli","tag-karim-khan","tag-middle-east","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-police-department","tag-new-york-times","tag-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-russian-president-vladimir-putin","tag-the-hague","tag-un-general-assembly","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
