Netanyahu to Attend UNGA Despite Arrest Calls

Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, said he will go to New York in September to speak at the United Nations.

Some people in New York, especially a mayoral candidate named Zohran Mamdani, want him arrested because of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Netanyahu says he will still go and will talk about the truth.

Mamdani has called him a war criminal and wants U.S. officials to enforce an international court order.

Netanyahu says the court is not real and that New York officials can’t arrest him.

The two sides have very different views on what should happen.
