Netanyahu's Office Accuses New York Mayor Mamdani of Distraction Over Anti-Israel Rhetoric

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office is accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of diverting attention away from his own record in New York by making anti-Semitic comments and threatening Israel via the International Criminal Court. The ICC threat comes as Mamdani seeks re-election, with some arguing it may hurt his chances. Netanyahu's office claims that Mamdani is using the issue to distract voters from his tenure in New York. The Israeli leader has criticized Mamdani for his remarks, calling them 'inexcusable'.
