Netanyahu Accuses Mamdani of 'Fomenting Hate' in Calls for PM's Arrest New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested if he visits the city for the United Nations General Assembly has sparked controversy.
At its core, this is not simply about a mayor calling out a world leader; it's about the increasingly fraught relationship between New York City and the international community.
Mamdani's stance resonates deeply with some due to the city's diverse population, including a large Jewish community. However, others have been infuriated by his call for Netanyahu's arrest.
