Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he’s desperately seeking a legal loophole to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes when he visits in NYC in September.
The Pro-Palestine, Israel-hating, socialist pol said in an interview published Saturday that it’s unclear whether he has the authority to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu during the prime minister’s expected trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly – but is in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani bluntly told The New York Times, referring to the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that it is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
Mamdani – who has made accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza a focal point of a far-left ideology that has helped propel him into the national spotlight – vowed during last year’s campaign that, if elected mayor, he’d have Netanyahu arrested if he ever set foot in NYC.
He cited the International Criminal Court’s 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu — which the U.S. doesn’t recognize.
However, Mamdani insisted during The Times interview that the city “won’t be writing our own laws” to lock up the prime minister, who is seeking re-election.
“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do,” he said.
During the interview, Mamdani also complained about media coverage of his wife Rama Duwaji, who has come under fire for her long history of bashing the United States and Israel.

Tough luck chump. “Diplomatic Immunity.”
Let him (Islamofascist mayor) try...
““I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,”
It’s Mamdani that belongs in Gitmo.
Mamdani?
What a stupid idiot.
Double Bag Barf Alert.
I would like to see mandummy arrested.
Mandani to Gitmo BUMP!
The commie hypocrites wouldn’t arrest illegals because they’d say that’s not their jurisdiction.
That is why Marco Rubio is dismantling the ICC...
Lame PR stunt.
I believe he belongs in Uganda. Had no reason being granted citizenship to this country and has contributed nothing other than division.
You go, girl.
Skin that smokewagon, Mamdummy. See what happens!
Just what he needs. To cause an international incident.
Kinda like to see it. Heheh.
So just have him show up directly in DC or better yet: Welcome to Texas!
I hope he does it just for the entertainment value.

Sounds to me like he’s desperately seeking a sub gun sticking up his nose.

I’ll bet Netanyahu has some top-notch bodyguards.
