Mamdani Finally Admits He Can’t Arrest Bibi
NRO ^

Posted on 07/22/2026 9:12:28 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Last night, in a short video statement, Mamdani acknowledged that he has no authority, and never had any authority, to carry out his campaign promise.

“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,” Mamdani said. “It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.”

No Shinola, Sherlock.

Nothing changed between last fall and now; the only difference is that the U.N. General Assembly is in two months, and Netanyahu intends to be there. (The Israeli leader may feel that he must attend the UNGA this year, to prove the point that no one has the authority to arrest him on U.S. soil.)

In the end, Mamdani is like the kid who runs for middle-school student council promising to replace the school lunches with McDonalds and Chick-fil-A and ban homework. He either didn’t know, or more likely, didn’t care that he didn’t have the authority to keep this promise; he just wanted the applause and to look like a tough guy.

Mamdani has not given up on harassing Netanyahu. I heard the mayor has moved on to Plan B.

Any bets on how long till a petition for a recall vote is started against this national embarrassment?

But he sure green-lighted every muzzie leftist to act while he’s in town.

It’s a losing bet. NY has zero recall options.

So, one of his mionions will simply throw a molotov, like at ICE the other day.

These are paid-for hits. All street violence has, for decades, been exclusively from the left. Yeah, that is round off. It is really 90%.
