Zohran Mamdani said he would seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if Mamdani is elected and Netanyahu comes to New York City.
“This is something that I intend to fulfill,” Mamdani, the Democratic candidate and frontrunner, told The New York Times in an interview released Friday.
Mamdani, a staunch and longtime critic of Israel and its government, had indicated during the primary that he would aim to carry out an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court last year against Netanyahu over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, where Israel has been fighting Hamas since October 2023.

North African Gang Beats Disabled Man in Italy, Leaves Him for Dead
A 21-year-old man with a mobility disability was left for dead after being savagely beaten by a group of young men of North African origin outside a nightclub in Sanremo, Italy, over the weekend.
The victim, from Alba in Piedmont, had been waiting for a bus with two friends when the group of four attackers surrounded them on Via Gioberti near the Sanremo seafront in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The two friends managed to flee, but the 21-year-old was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked as he lay helpless. Witnesses said his face was left completely bruised. At one point, one of the assailants reportedly shouted in French, “Okay, he’s dead!” and took a photo of the motionless victim as a trophy before fleeing.

Trump Urges Supreme Court to Back Passport Gender Rules
President Donald Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to allow it to block the issuance of passports that reflect the gender identities of transgender and nonbinary Americans.

The dispute is one of several over an executive order Trump signed after returning to office on Jan. 20 directing the government to recognize only two biologically distinct sexes, male and female.

Assisted dying in England and Wales has moved a step closer after proposed legislation passed the second reading stage in the House of Lords. Peers allowed Kim Leadbeater’s landmark bill to proceed to its next crucial stage after a second day of debate lasting for five hours on Friday. The House passed an amendment which will see a special committee set up for further scrutiny.
Negotiations between the bill’s supporters and opponents led to an agreement that the committee will conclude its work by November 7, which should allow enough time for the bill to proceed to a Committee of the Whole House and complete its remaining stages within this parliamentary session.
