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.

Israel sees the move as a long-term strategic step, implementation due to begin in the coming days.
