A survivor of the Nova music festival terrorist attack by Hamas pushed back against a video released by Zohran Mamdani calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal,” saying the New York City mayor’s comments were “dangerous.”
Mazal Tazazo made the remark in a video shared on X by radio host Jason Rantz, one day after Mamdani said Netanyahu was “the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people.”
In Mamdani’s message, he said he agreed with the International Criminal Court that “Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for his crimes” and urged the federal government to carry out an arrest warrant if Netanyahu visits New York City in September for the U.N. General Assembly.

“I was shocked today when I saw that video. It’s so dangerous,” Tazazo said.
“What’s happening there is not genocide. People died. Yes, this is a war. It’s very sad. But why? Because the terrorists hide behind their people,” she continued, referencing statements from the Israel Defense Forces that Hamas uses civilian buildings as cover for their military activity.
“If you want to really want to understand what’s going on here, so come,” she added. “I’m Mazal Tazazo, nice to meet you, survivor of the Nova. You can come to Israel, nobody gonna arrest you, OK? You can come to Israel and hear my story and hear the story of Israel and go around the place.”
Rantz wrote on X that Tazazo “absolutely unloaded on Zohran Mamdani for threatening to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Mamdani said in his own video posted on X Tuesday that “my administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here.
“It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does, and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant.
“He is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people, for the maiming of tens of thousands of children, as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia, for the targeting of neonatal hospitals and maternity care centers, denying newborns even the chance to live, for the countless people he starved as he blocked food and humanitarian aid from reaching them,” Mamdani also claimed about Netanyahu.
