Summary
Benjamin Netanyahu said he will still travel to New York in September, despite Mayor Zohran Mamdani's calls to have him arrested over an International Criminal Court warrant.
The Israeli prime minister accused Mamdani of "fomenting hate" and dividing the city, saying the mayor's anti-Israel rhetoric is frightening Jewish residents.
Netanyahu linked that rhetoric to a recent synagogue stabbing, calling Mamdani's latest "war criminal" remarks shameful and dangerous.
The clash lands amid broader concern over antisemitism in New York and beyond, with the report citing a 97% rise in violent anti-Jewish hate crimes since 2022.
