  "summary": "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew attention at the United Nations this week, meeting with US President Donald Trump and sparking a public spat with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Fortune, Netanyahu accused Mamdani of endangering Jewish New Yorkers with his criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza, calling him \"the antisemitic mayor of New York\" and \"the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people\" in a previous statement.\n\nMamdani has long been a vocal critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, which he says do not amount to antisemitism. The mayor threatened to have Netanyahu arrested if he came to the city, prompting a strong response from the Israeli leader. Netanyahu praised President Trump for his support of Israel during his speech at the United Nations.\n\nThe exchange between Mamdani and Netanyahu is the latest development in a long-standing disagreement over Israel's actions in Gaza. Mamdani repeated his criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, where more than 73,000 people have been displaced, according to Fortune.",
