Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office is accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of attacking the Jewish state to distract from his record in New York after calling Netanyahu a «war criminal.»

The prime minister’s office fired back Sunday after the Democratic mayor said his administration was exploring whether it could arrest the Israeli leader during an expected visit to the city under the International Criminal Court’s warrant.

«The ICC is a kangaroo court that has no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis,» Netanyahu’s office wrote in an X post Sunday, amid recent reports he is nearing a trip to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump.

«Its bogus arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu was issued by a disgraced former ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, a few days before allegations of sexual misconduct against him became public,» Netanyahu’s office said. «It was a clear attempt by Khan to divert public attention and seek protection from scrutiny.»

Mamdani is following the same playbook, the office added.

«Instead of backing Khan’s criminal behaviour, Mr. Mamdani should focus on fixing the damage his policies have caused New York,» the post concluded. «Like Karim Khan, Mamdani appears interested in diverting public attention from his follies and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East.»

Israel vowed to ignore the ICC warrant while it roots Hamas, «a genocidal terrorist organization ,» out of Gaza.

«Under Prime Minister Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel has taken unprecedented wartime measures to minimize harm to civilians while confronting Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that uses Palestinians as human shields and deliberately targets innocent Israeli civilians,» the office’s post read.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News’ «Fox & Friends Weekend» earlier Sunday that Mamdani is ostensibly hyperbolizing for «political theater.»

«This is a communist, antisemitic mayor trying to make news for his own audience,» Pompeo said. «There’s nothing more than that. This is no chance he’s going to arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu when he comes to New York in September for the U.N. General Assembly.

«It’s just simply not going to happen, and he knows it.»

Even some Democrats have rejected Mamdani’s stance, warning it could embolden terrorists at home and abroad.

«This isn’t a college protest,» former Democrat Mayor Eric Adams wrote on X. «This is the City of New York.»

«Threatening to arrest the democratically elected leader of one of America’s closest allies during U.N. General Assembly week isn’t bold. It’s reckless,» Adams continued. «American diplomats, service members, and officials are stationed in dangerous places around the world. Irresponsible rhetoric like this doesn’t stay in New York. It can put Americans at greater risk abroad. Leadership means understanding that your words have consequences. Reckless political theater can have very real-world costs.»

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has long broken with Democrats on becoming the «anti-Israel party,» telling the «clown» Mamdani to «sit down.»

«It’s such a tough guy to say that kind of thing,» Fetterman told Fox News’ «Sunday Morning Futures.» «He has no way to do that, of course. Obviously, America is not even part of that corrupt court. And so he’s just a clown to even say that. So he won’t try that. Just sit down and focus on other the problems that they have in New York. That’s really not your purview. You and I know that. Sit down.»

Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain behind bars for now after appearing in federal court in Miami Monday, where they formally began fighting the United Kingdom’s bid to extradite the controversial brothers on dozens of charges, including rape and human trafficking.

During the brief hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis informed the brothers they were being held on a provisional arrest warrant from the U.K. and that extradition proceedings were already underway. 

The judge later scheduled a status hearing for July 27 as the brothers prepare to challenge both the extradition request and whether they should remain in custody while the case moves forward.

Attorney Joseph McBride told reporters that the brothers are innocent and said he does not expect them to be released.

Andrew and Tristan Tate appeared wearing gray jail uniforms and shackles and each responded, «Yes, your honor,» when Judge Louis advised them of their rights. 

The judge also explained that the proceeding was an extradition matter, not a criminal trial, and that the brothers would not be required to attend every hearing.

The brothers were arrested in Miami over the weekend after British authorities announced 38 additional charges involving four additional alleged victims.

Andrew Tate, 39, faces seven additional rape counts, as well as charges related to sex trafficking and indecent images of a child. Tristan Tate, 38, faces charges including two rape counts and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.

British police said the new allegations bring the total number of charges against the brothers to 59. The alleged offenses are said to have occurred between July 2010 and August 2017.

«We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offenses including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,» Malcolm McHaffie, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s Special Crime Division, said.

Andrew Tate is additionally due to face a civil trial in Britain brought by four women who accuse him of physical and sexual abuse.

The four claimants, who have been granted anonymity, allege Tate subjected them to physical or sexual violence between 2013 and 2015. Two say they were in an intimate relationship with Tate, while two worked for his online webcam business.

Europa carga también contra China y multa a AliExpress con 550 millones de euros

Published

on



La Comisión Europea puede tener dudas en cómo comportarse cuando tiene conflictos con Estados Unidos o con China, pero la práctica de los últimos años muestra que cuando se trata de asuntos cuya competencia es comunitaria y no compartido con los Estados miembros no le tiembla el pulso.

El brazo ejecutivo de la Unión Europea anunció este lunes a primera hora que impone a la empresa china AliExpress una multa de 550 millones de euros por violaron el Acta de Servicios Digitales, la norma aprobada en 2024 que está torciendo el brazo a las grandes plataformas tecnológicas.

La Comisión asegura que AliExpress no ha sido lo suficientemente diligente y no ha mitigado los riesgos de que en su plataforma se vendan productos ilegales, inseguros y truchos, que terminan llegando al mercado europeo. La multa impuesta crecerá si la empresa no toma las medidas necesarias para evitar que ese comportamiento ilegal se siga produciendo.

El documento que explica la multa asegura que AliExpress incumple sus obligaciones con respecto al Acta de Servicios Digitales “de múltiples formas”.

– La empresa no ha evaluado si tiene personal suficiente para revisar que no se vendan en su plataforma productos potencialmente ilegales

Advertisement

– Ha sobrestimado la efectividad de su sistema de detección y borrado de productos ilegales de su plataforma.

– No ha hecho una evaluación realista que tenga en cuenta la desproporción entre el número de empleados humanos que revisen los productos a la venta y su carga de trabajo.

– AliExpress no ha hecho lo necesario para evitar que los sistemas de publicidad aumente la diseminación de productos ilegales. Las pruebas hechas por los propios servicios de la Comisión Europea muestran que la publicidad recomendó comprar artículos que eran ilegales.

Advertisement

– La empresa no tiene mecanismos apropiados para medir correctamente cómo funciona su sistema de revisión de productos a la venta para que no se vendan artículos ilegales.

La comisaria europea de Soberanía Tecnológica, Seguridad y Democracia, la finlandesa Henna Virkkunen, dijo este lunes que “la diseminación de ropa trucha, juguetes inseguros y cosméticos peligrosos, además de otros productos ilegales y dañinos, no es un costo imposible de impedir en el comercio online, es un fallo de AliExpress a la hora de cumplir con sus obligaciones. El tamaño no es una excusa y los riesgos deben ser identificados y combatidos sistemáticamente”.

El pliego de acusación que da pie a esta multa señala también que la empresa no tomó medidas efectivas para reducir el riesgo de diseminación de productos ilegales. La Comisión detectó, por ejemplo, que el sistema informático de detección de productos ilegales no funciona correctamente porque productos señalados como truchos o incluso juguetes señalados como peligrosos siguieron estando a la venta durante semanas antes de ser retirados.

AliExpress tiene oficialmente un sistema por el que penaliza a quien intente vender en su plataforma productos ilegales, pero Bruselas considera que no aplica adecuadamente esas penalizaciones.

Los servicios de la Comisión Europea aseguran que los controles automáticos son muy fáciles de evitar simplemente categorizando de forma incorrecta los productos. Quien quiere vender una remera trucha de la selección Argentina puede tranquilamente explicar que vende una “remera Alilas de Argentino” y ahí seguirá durante semanas o meses en la plataforma sin que el sistema la detecte. Otra solución es poner el artículo como si fuera de otra categoría diferente y no como ropa deportiva. La empresa tampoco tiene suficiente personal que revise que eso no sucede y se fía de sus sistemas automáticos.

Bruselas pone el foco especialmente en esos productos truchos: “Además de las potenciales consecuencias para los derechos de los consumidores, los vendedores de tales productos abusan de los negocios legítimos que invierten en diseño, en pruebas de seguridad, en innovación, y los obliga a competir con productos que se aprovechan de esas inversiones. El sistema de “autorización de marcas” de la empresa, que debe impedir que se vendan productos trucos, “es inefectivo y no tiene suficiente personal”, dice Bruselas.

La Comisión Europea explica que la multa impuesta se calculó teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza de las violaciones legales, la cantidad de usuarios europeos afectados y la duración de esas violaciones. La Comisión advirtió ya a AliExpress en junio de 2025.

La multa no es mayor porque la Comisión entiende que el Acta de Servicios Digitales es una norma nueva (2024).

La empresa tiene hasta el 20 de octubre de este año para enviar a Bruselas un plan con las medidas que va a tomar para eliminar o reducir los riesgos señalados y cumplir con la normativa europea. Si no cumple se le impondrán multas periódicas.

Lindsey Graham succession fight upended as Trump’s chosen successor jumps in

Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., wants to make her role as caretaker for her brother’s seat in the Senate permanent.

Graham, who was appointed to finish off the remainder of her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s term, is officially entering the special election to claim the Republican nomination in South Carolina after a push from President Donald Trump.

Graham, during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, acknowledged the «tremendous amount of pressure» to take over the position and run.

«I feel like I can do it, I feel an inner peace about it,» Graham said. «Will it be difficult? Yes.»

When asked if she had made a decision on what she would do, she told Hannity she had.

«I’m in,» Graham said.

Her addition to the growing roster of hopefuls to replace the late lawmaker will likely shake up the race less than one day before candidates can begin officially filing to run for the nomination.

So far, Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Russell Fry, R-S.C., and businessman Mark Lynch have all publicly committed to running. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has strongly suggested that she’ll throw her hat into the arena, too.

Meanwhile, Mace and Norman are turning their steel against their colleague, Fry, in what’s shaping up to be a messy, Palmetto State brawl to capture the Republican nomination for Graham’s seat.

Mace argued that should Fry win the nomination, and subsequently the general election, he would vacate his «Republican House seat until next May.»

«That narrows an already razor-thin majority and puts the Speaker’s gavel in play,» Mace said. «I will never hand Hakeem Jeffries that gift.»

«If you’re running for two offices at once, you’ve already told us who you are,» she continued. «That’s not about politics anymore — that’s about power. You’re either with the people you serve or you’re not.»

Fry announced Monday morning that he would enter the race, hours after Norman tossed in his hat, too. Mace has been making public overtures that she wants to jump in, but has so far not made anything official.

A source in Fry’s political orbit told Fox News Digital that the lawmaker has «accomplished more than all the potential candidates combined,» having passed three bills in his first four years in Congress.

«This is really about giving voters a choice and not a coronation,» they said.

Infighting is already underway in the race to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, with Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Ralph Norman, R-S.C., warning that Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., and his bid for the seat could jeopardize Republican control of the House. (Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty Images; Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images; )

Still, the conservative duo are going for blood against Fry, arguing that his bid for the seat is purely politically motivated and jeopardizes the House’s already slim majority heading into the midterm elections later this year.

Under South Carolina law, Fry can appear for multiple offices on the ballot. He was unopposed for his primary election for South Carolina’s 7th congressional district, and if he wins the nomination, he’ll be on the ballot twice for both.

Ultimately he’ll have to choose if he wins both, which would trigger another special election to fill his place.

The top two Republicans in the South Carolina Statehouse, South Carolina Senate President Thomas Alexander and South Carolina House Speaker Murrell Smith, said in a statement that the upcoming special election has «highlighted issues in South Carolina law,» and noted that, «In the coming weeks, we intend to address these important issues so that we can provide the process available for our citizens.»

That is not a problem for either Mace nor Norman, who both ran and failed to clinch the Republican gubernatorial nomination last month.

«SC Republicans voters soundly rejected Nancy and Ralph as recently as last month because conservatives are tired of career politicians who care more about their own social media than getting actual results for families,» a spokesperson for Fry’s campaign told Fox News Digital.

Norman was less venomous in his take on the situation, and noted on X that he respected Fry and had enjoyed his time serving with him in the House. Still, his candidacy, he argued, «could leave his seat vacant until May 18th.»

«This would leave his constituents unrepresented, jeopardize President Trump’s agenda, and put the House at risk of being led by a Speaker Hakeem Jeffries,» Norman said. «We can’t let that happen!!»
