Mamdani had previously called Netanyahu a war criminal and the &#8220;architect of a horrific genocide&#8221; 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\u2019s responsibility for war crimes, including starvation and attacks on Gaza&#8217;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&#8217;s remarks and Mamdani&#8217;s accusations highlight ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with allegations of war crimes and calls for accountability.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Ambassador to Israel <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-huckabee\/\">Mike Huckabee<\/a> on Wednesday called New York Mayor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/op-eds\/4657828\/new-york-mayor-isnt-world-police-tell-mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> an \u201cevil anti-Semite who deliberately lies about serious things like \u2018genocide\u2019 to stoke Jew hate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huckabee\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GovMikeHuckabee\/status\/2079804890361078163\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GovMikeHuckabee\/status\/2079804890361078163\">comments<\/a> on social media come after Mamdani said he was actively seeking to arrest <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\">Israeli<\/a> Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> during his New York City visit for the United Nations General Assembly in September.
