Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of "fomenting hate" on Sunday for calling him a war criminal. Mamdani had suggested Netanyahu should be arrested if he visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly in September. Netanyahu dismissed the International Criminal Court's war crimes charges against him as "bogus" and plans to attend the UN gathering.
