Zohran Mamdani Considers Ordering Arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu: ‘He’s a War Criminal’

Netanyahu is the head of a sovereign state and as such has diplomatic immunity. Mamdani is only the mayor of a city. If he should have Nettanyahu arrested that would break the law - and give the U.S. government grounds to arrest HIM.

I'd love to see the socialist fool try it..

From X:

Ambassador Mike Waltz

@michaelgwaltz

Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:

1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,

2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,

3. head-of-state immunity applies, &

4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.

This is pure political theater.

Mike Waltz is the American Ambassador to the United Nations.

Jazzhands Mamdani isn't going to arrest anyone. But it would sure be fun to watch him try.

1 Methinks that Mamdani knows he needs to keep his grubbies well off Bibi, but he's just making noise to try to impress his Commie cohorts. I really don't think he's stupid enough to try to grab a head of a sovereign state just to show how big his own head is.

3 I agree Dana. And if he should attempt it I doubt NYPD would obey his order (they would be in legal jeopardy themselves.)
