MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI: So I think to, to your point. When I make criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu, they are criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu, and what I shared were not even frankly, personal assessments, they were objective facts.  And my responsibility as a New Yorker and as a mayor of this city is a responsibility to take care of each and every person who calls the city their home, and that is not based upon whether or not they agree with me, how they feel about me.  My job is to make sure that they are safe, that they are thriving, and they continue to call the city home, and that&#8217;s always going to be my North Star on how we can do that because this is an incredible city, and it&#8217;s a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/07\/27\/mamdani_not_interested_in_getting_into_a_back-and-forth_with_pm_netanyahu.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked back some of his previous criticism about threatening to arrest Israeli of Benjamin Netanyahu: NEW: Mamdani asked about Netanyahu&#8217;s comments, says he&#8217;s not interested in getting into a back and forth with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
