Mamdani Calls Netanyahu a War Criminal Ahead of UN Visit

Ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York, Zohran Mamdani renewed his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a 'war criminal' and the 'architect of genocide.' Netanyahu responded sharply, saying 'Shame on you.' Mamdani also reiterated that the International Criminal Court's warrant for Netanyahu should be honored. The dispute comes as Netanyahu is not scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump or Elon Musk during the visit. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed on arrival in New York that Israel is given too much freedom.
