Summary
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was mocked by conservatives on social media for announcing that he cannot arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite previously saying he wanted to. Mamdani called Netanyahu a “war criminal” and claimed the International Criminal Court has a warrant for his arrest. The mayor acknowledged that New York City cannot enforce the warrant on its own, but called on the federal government to do so if Netanyahu visits the city. Conservatives criticized Mamdani’s stance, with some calling it “antisemitic blood libel” and “political theater.”
