GOP senator calls Mamdani's Netanyahu arrest vow a 'grave threat' as he introduces defund bill
NegativeU.S News

- New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has pledged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, citing an International Criminal Court warrant. This declaration has drawn criticism from GOP Senator who labeled it a 'grave threat' and has introduced a bill to defund New York City as a response.
- Mamdani's commitment to enforce the ICC warrant reflects a significant stance on international law and human rights, positioning him in direct opposition to the Israeli government and potentially straining federal relations with New York City.
- This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between local and federal authorities, especially regarding sanctuary city policies and international relations, as Mamdani's previous commitments to maintain NYC's sanctuary status and his controversial endorsements have already stirred political debates.
