Zohran Mamdani, the state representative who is frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race, attacked Israel again on social media on Friday, after the Jewish state detained people on a flotilla who claimed that they intended to deliver aid to Gazans.

Mamdani, who has criticized the Jewish state frequently and said that he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if the premier comes to the Big Apple, accused Israel of war crimes.

“They must be freed at once, and the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now,” he said.

“The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin,” the military said.
IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi says “maximum military restraint should be observed, in particular in the vicinity of nuclear facilities.”
“We are determined to continue striking our enemies on all fronts,” added the Israeli premier.
The Islamic Republic must open the Strait of Hormuz completely, “without threat,” or the United States will begin targeting its power plants, said the president.
IDF chief says strikes have weakened Iran’s regime and vows to push Hezbollah threat from border as “Operation Roaring Lion” enters fourth week.
“There is damage and there are casualties,” said the Israel Defense Forces.
