Netanyahu says Mamdani ‘celebrated’ Oct. 7, ‘fomenting hate’ with Israel criticism

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of celebrating the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre and supporting murderers. During a Fox News appearance, Netanyahu addressed a video from Mamdani on X, where the mayor labeled the prime minister a war criminal and demanded his arrest. Netanyahu claimed Mamdani is fomenting hate through his criticism of Israel, though reports indicate these accusations regarding the celebration of the attacks were made without evidence.
