New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Saturday called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and said he is looking into arresting him during an upcoming visit.
In an interview with The New York Times, published Saturday, Mamdani said, "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court."
Mamdani also said that he is in "active conversation" with NYC's legal officials on whether he may arrest a foreign leader, adding, "Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end."

Mamdani draws parallels to Mandela amid criticism over anti-Israel stance

In other developments, he got rid of all that snow. Yup. Not one snowflake on NYC streets, except for the two-legged kind.
I see a scenario where mamdani is a good guy playing the part of a bad guy, purposely pushing the envelope, whereby mamdani is the one arrested.
That’ll wake up a few in NYC. And beyond.
I’d guess NYC cops would not wish to go up against Netanyahu’s security team…
But then didn’t Marco Rubio say something recently about how we don’t recognize the International Criminal Court? And any authority that court might have?
So in that case, how can this be? How can a mayor of a city go counter to the official policy of the United States government, if the official policy of the United States states government is that this court has no jurisdiction?
So how can a local government official override the official federal policy on an issue? I mean, legally speaking, how can you do that? What legal standing would he have to arrest him?
Insanity!
I don’t think that’s your call, Mamamalamdani
Try it a-hole and see what happens.
Netanyahu? None. Mamdani? Logan Act.
Attempting to get past Bibi’s security cadre to put cuffs on him is not an enviable job.
He might just go along with it and take a ride to Rikers, TV cameras in tow, so that the Feds can give ZM a thorough f@#$-over for interfering in diplomatic affairs outside his jurisdiction and authority.
Netanyahu hasn’t broken any laws in NYC.
Mamdani must think that he is a global cop or something.
His legal advisers will tell him to fuhgedabout it, which he knew he had to anyway. This is just a pose for the cameras.
Israel would vaporize the shit eating grin off the face of that POS.
Love to see him try...btw- the Commissioner of the NYPD, Jessica Tisch- is Jewish and pissed off ayatollah mamdani when she said she would proudly march in the Israeli Day parade last month...
Watching the internal civil war in NYChitty will be fun....
He’d just go out and find more sh!t to eat, so he could get back his grin.
the commissioner of the NYPD, Jessica Tisch, is Jewish and pro-Israel...the civil war will be fun if mamdani tries this stupid stunt...
NYC cops will do whatever their leftist paymasters tell them to do. Cowards and thugs. Although seeing a few of them and Mamdani get waxed by Mossad would give me a warm feeling in my heart.
Good luck getting past his security and our security - BTW, Mandella was a terrorist in his country and his wife invented that necklace thing where a tire was put around a person’s neck, filled with gasoline and then ignited. Yep, a couple of real hero’s
Mamdani working to be the one man show of the View crazy as all of them.
Aristide used to call it Per Lebroun, and encouraged it in Haiti.
