The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This statement came after Mayor Mamdani indicated he is considering whether to arrest the Israeli leader during an upcoming United Nations summit. Netanyahu's office, in an X post, advised Mamdani to concentrate on addressing issues within New York, suggesting his actions are an attempt to distract from his own policy failures. The office further alleged that Mamdani, similar to Karim Khan, seems focused on diverting public attention by targeting the leader of Israel and its democracy.
