Mamdani Reiterates Vow to Arrest Netanyahu as Poll Shows Nyers Prefer Him Over Any Opponent on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
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.

intentional violence by a spouse or partner, and sexual offenses. “The
victim subsequently renewed her concerns by filing additional complaints
with the police four times, on July 17, August 13, August 19, and
August 28,” prosecutor Rachel Bray added.

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 Justice Department filed an emergency request to lift a federal
judge’s order that bars the State Department from enforcing a
Trump-directed policy.
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.

UK: Huge Win for Assisted Dying Campaign as Law Passes Second Reading in Lords
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.
