Jewish leaders have recentlyspoken out against Mamdani’s commentson Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling Netanyahu “a war criminal” and “the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people.” Mamdani had added that while City Hall lacks the authority to arrest Netanyahu, he believes the prime minister should be held accountable under the International Criminal Court’s warrant.This, despite the ICC not having any jurisdiction in the United States, as the U.S.is not a member of the international body.
