From Fox News: After Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s leading mayoral candidate, pledged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, Netanyahu responded to questions about whether he’s worried.
In December, Mamdani, who identifies as a democratic socialist and is the Democratic Party’s nominee for New York City mayor, said, “as mayor, New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.”
“This is a city that our values are in line with international law. It’s time that our actions are also,” Mamdani said, referring to the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant against Netanyahu as well as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday evening to discuss a range of topics, including Iran and Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas.
Last month, Whitney Tilson, who was running for NYC Mayor in the Democrat primary, posted a video of Mamdani declaring he would have Netanyahu arrested.
On Sunday evening, @zohrankmamdani also affirmed his insane plan to honor an arrest warrant for Israel’s democratically-elected prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mamdani cited the warrant issued by the ICC — a body to which the United States is not even a party.

During the meeting at the White House Monday, both Netanyahu and President Trump responded to Mamdani’s threats to have the Israeli prime minister arrested.
Netanyahu scoffed at Mamdani’s wild threats, and Trump said, “We don’t know who the mayor is going to be yet, but this is a communist. He’s not a socialist. He’s a communist, and he’s said some really bad things about Jewish people.”
“He might make it,” Trump continued. “But, you know, it all comes through the White House. He needs the money through the White House. He needs a lot. He’s going to behave. He’ll behave. He better behave. Otherwise, he’s going to have big problems.”
Zohran Mamdani does not intimidate Prime Minister Netanyahu and he certainly does not intimidate President Donald J. Trump.
