New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a frequent critic of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, again denounced Netanyahu in a recent interview, labeling him a "war criminal and architect of genocide." When questioned about the possibility of arresting Netanyahu during a potential visit to New York, Adams acknowledged he lacks the independent authority to carry out such an action.
Adams' remarks come amid ongoing friction with segments of New York's Jewish community. Rabbis and Jewish organizations have sharply criticized his anti-Israel statements, asserting that his rhetoric heightens feelings of insecurity among local Jews. Adams, however, rejects accusations of antisemitism, maintaining his criticism is directed solely at the Israeli government and Netanyahu.
Concurrently, Adams affirmed the city administration's commitment to the safety of New York's Jewish residents and to combating antisemitism.
