New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani demanded federal authorities arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on an ICC warrant when he visits the UN General Assembly in September, prompting Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon to dismiss the move as a politically motivated stunt with no legal basis. The incident reflects the intensifying global pressure and diplomatic isolation surrounding Israel, a pattern Scripture identifies as a hallmark of the last days — when all nations are drawn into conflict over Jerusalem and its leadership. Zechariah 12:3 warns that Jerusalem will become 'a burdensome stone for all people,' and the relentless international targeting of Israel's prime minister illustrates precisely this dynamic unfolding in real time.
