Mamdani calls Netanyahu 'a war criminal'; a Jerusalem Post headline says, in its own voice, that Mamdani supports Hamas

New York's mayor told CNN the court's arrest warrant for Israel's prime minister should be honoured when he visits for the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu answered that he will 'tell the truth' in Thursday's speech. Five reports carry the exchange. They differ on whose charge is stated as fact and whose is attributed.

What each side said. On Monday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani told CNN that Netanyahu is "a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people", Reuters reports via Al-Monitor. The Jerusalem Post and JNS say he repeated his call for Netanyahu's arrest. On Tuesday, Reuters reports, Netanyahu accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas. He said he would use his UN speech to defend Israel's military actions against the Palestinians.

One charge attributed, one stated. Both sides' words are charges. The reports do not treat them the same way.

Report Mamdani's charge The Hamas charge
Reuters, via Al-Monitor quoted, credited to him "accusing", credited to Netanyahu
Jerusalem Post, morning "he believes", credited to him not carried
Jerusalem Post, afternoon not quoted headline: "for supporting Hamas", no attribution
Arutz Sheva "accusations against Israel" not carried
JNS arrest call only not carried

What the mayor can do. Only the Jerusalem Post's morning report says Mamdani "acknowledged that he lacks the authority to arrest him". Only its afternoon report says the warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court.

What is not settled - None of the five reports quotes Netanyahu's own words about Hamas. Only his pledge to "tell the truth" is quoted. - No report carries a reply from Mamdani to Netanyahu. - Four of the five reports are from Israeli outlets. We hold no Palestinian outlet on this exchange, and no American outlet apart from Reuters.

What this is about. The elected mayor of the city that hosts the United Nations says a visiting head of government should be arrested on an international warrant. That head of government says the mayor is on the side of Hamas.

How it got here. On 7 October 2023, Hamas led an attack on southern Israel and took hostages back into Gaza. Israel answered with a war in Gaza that is still the centre of this dispute. In November 2024 the International Criminal Court, a court in The Hague that tries individuals for war crimes and crimes against humanity, issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, over the conduct of that war. Israel rejects the charges and says the court has no jurisdiction over it. Separately, South Africa accuses Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice. Israel denies it, and the case has not been decided.

Zohran Mamdani campaigned for mayor of New York City in 2025 on a promise that the city would honour the warrant if Netanyahu came. He won, and took office in January 2026.

Who is involved, and why. Netanyahu is Israel's prime minister. A Jerusalem Post photo caption says he is campaigning for a general election. Every September, leaders come to New York for the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu is due to speak on Thursday. The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court and has no duty to act on its warrants. Arrests in New York are made by police and prosecutors. The morning Jerusalem Post report says Mamdani accepts that the power to arrest Netanyahu is not his.

What is at stake. In practice, not an arrest. Two elected politicians are arguing in front of two audiences, and the argument decides whether the warrant, or the war, leads the coverage of the visit.

Where it stands. Netanyahu is expected in New York this week. None of the reports we hold says any authority plans to act on the warrant.

What is being argued about

  • Mamdani's charge that Netanyahu is 'a war criminal' and an 'architect of a horrific genocide'
  • Netanyahu's charge that Mamdani supports Hamas, stated as fact in one headline
  • Whether the International Criminal Court's warrant can be enforced in New York
  • Netanyahu's pledge to 'tell the truth' at the UN on Thursday

The bias in this coverageBias

'Supports Hamas': stated, or attributed?

One headline states as fact that Mamdani supports Hamas. One report attributes the charge to Netanyahu. Mamdani's words are quoted, and credited to him, in two reports.

1 headlines stating the Hamas charge as fact 1 reports attributing it to Netanyahu 2 reports quoting Mamdani's own words

The warrant behind the dispute

Only one of five reports says there is an International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu. One recasts Mamdani's charge against Netanyahu as accusations against Israel.

1 reports naming the court's warrant 1 reports recasting the charge as against Israel
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday threatened to expose “the truth” about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the United Nations General Assembly in a video shared on X/Twitter.“Shame on you, Mr. Mamdani,” Netanyahu said. “Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against New York Jews.”“I'm coming to the UN. I'm going to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers, and I'm going to tell the truth about you.”ממדאני - אני בא לאו״ם כדי להילחם על האמת של החיילים הגיבורים שלנו - וכדי לחשוף את האמת עליך! pic.twitter.c

Says Mamdani 'still believes' Netanyahu should be arrested during his visit to New York.
Mamdani told CNN that he still believes Netanyahu should be arrested during his upcoming visit to New York. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he was going to the United Nations to "fight for the truth about our heroic soldiers" and to "expose the truth" about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Netanyahu also said Jerusalem was working closely with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to expand the Abraham Accords. "I believe we can achieve broader peace," he said in a Hebrew-language clip posted to X. "I think it could be even much more than people think."

Carries Netanyahu's own words, 'I'm going to tell the truth about you'. It describes Mamdani's charge against Netanyahu as 'accusations against Israel'.

Reframing: Mamdani's words about Netanyahu are recast as accusations against Israel — “over his accusations against Israel”
Target reframed: Mamdani's charge against Netanyahu becomes 'accusations against Israel' — “Netanyahu blasts NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his accusations against Israel”
