New York City Mayor Zuhairah Madani on Friday responded to criticism from Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating that Netanyahu's remarks were an attempt to distract from his responsibility as the "architect of genocide." Madani asserted, "If I were the architect of genocide, I would probably talk about everything but that." He made these comments during an interview on comedian Theo Von's podcast. When asked by Von if he would stop Netanyahu if it were up to him, Madani replied that he would want the U.S. government to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and respect its arrest warrants.
Madani reiterated his stance that criticism of Israel's policies and actions, including accusations of genocide, is not inherently antisemitic. This comes after Madani launched what he claims is the first municipal program in the United States to combat antisemitism, notably without any mention of Israel. Previously, Madani had called Prime Minister Netanyahu a "war criminal" in a meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Netanyahu responded to these accusations in a video, vowing to "expose the truth" about Madani.
