Netanyahu says he’s ‘going to New York’ to attend UNGA despite Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging authorities to arrest him
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed his intention to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, despite calls from Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his arrest over an International Criminal Court warrant. Netanyahu criticized Mamdani as a 'hate-spewing elected official' and dismissed the ICC's legitimacy, labeling it a 'corrupt, evil organization.' The mayor has urged federal authorities to enforce the warrant during Netanyahu's visit, although local officials lack the legal authority to act on it.
