Huckabee calls Mamdani ‘evil anti-Semite’ after Netanyahu arrest pledge
U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee publicly labeled New York City Mayor Zohran mamdani as an “evil anti-Semite” for falsely accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of genocide, with Huckabee criticizing Mamdani’s comments on social media. Mamdani had previously called Netanyahu a war criminal and the “architect of a horrific genocide” against Palestinians, and expressed his intention to arrest him during his NYC visit, urging the U.S. government to act since his office lacks the authority. Mamdani emphasized Netanyahu’s responsibility for war crimes, including starvation and attacks on Gaza’s civilians, which have led to an international arrest warrant issued by the ICC. President Trump dismissed any possibility of Netanyahu being arrested while in the U.S. Huckabee’s remarks and Mamdani’s accusations highlight ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with allegations of war crimes and calls for accountability.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Wednesday called New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani an “evil anti-Semite who deliberately lies about serious things like ‘genocide’ to stoke Jew hate.”
Huckabee’s comments on social media come after Mamdani said he was actively seeking to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his New York City visit for the United Nations General Assembly in September. Mamdani first made the pledge during his mayoral campaign, branding Netanyahu a “war criminal” and the “architect of a horrific genocide” in Gaza.” On Tuesday, Mamdani admitted his office lacks the power to arrest Netanyahu, but he urged the Trump administration to do so.

“For the countless people he starved, as he blocked food and humanitarian aid from reaching them. For the gunning down of hundreds of aid workers and journalists, there’s a reason the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest,” the mayor continued.
