‘Fomenting hate’: Netanyahu slams Mamdani’s arrest demand, calls ICC Gaza war charges ‘bogus’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams for suggesting he would not be welcome in the city, asserting that the mayor should represent all residents. Netanyahu dismissed the International Criminal Court's (ICC) charges against him as 'bogus' and accused the court of attempting to distract from its own controversies, including recent allegations against its former chief prosecutor. This exchange highlights the growing political divide in the U.S. over Israel's military actions in Gaza, which have resulted in significant casualties.
