Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to leave for New York today to attend the United Nations General Assembly session and address the general debate tomorrow evening. On the eve of his departure, Netanyahu posted a video threatening New York Mayor Mamdani from the air, accusing him of “supporting Hamas and inciting anti-Semitism,” and also said he wanted to go to the UN to “explain the truth.” In an interview broadcast on September 22, Mamdani once again claimed that Netanyahu was a war criminal and planned an appalling genocide against the Palestinian people. Mamdani has publicly stated many times before that “Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be sent to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.” In July of this year, he also said that if Netanyahu went to New York to attend the General Assembly meeting, the New York City government “might arrest him.” However, a few days later, he also claimed that the New York City government “has no independent legal authority to execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant,” and called on the US federal government to cooperate with the International Criminal Court to execute Netanyahu's arrest warrant.
