Interesting…..
Mamdani could become the Mayor of New York City on January 1, 2026……
Any visit to New York City would involve the New York City Police (And the NY/NJ Port Authority Police at the airport) assisting the US Secret Service in movement and security…..
The United Nation HQ is in NYC….
NYC has a good size Jewish Population…..
One would assume that the US President, on a Federal Level, WOULD get this settled, before any Israeli Prime Minsiter Netanyahu visit to the ‘Big Apple’….
If he wins his fall election, Zohran Mamdani would order New York’s police department to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu in the event that the Israeli prime minister ever traveled there, the city’s leading mayoral candidate said in a recent interview.
Mamdani – the Democratic nominee in the 4 November election – alleged to the New York Times on Thursday that Netanyahu was a war criminal who was committing genocide with Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, according to a report published by the outlet on Friday. He said he would honor an international criminal court (ICC) arrest warrant issued in November 2024 for Netanyahu’s arrest over alleged Gaza war crimes by having the Israeli leader taken into custody at the airport if he ever steps foot in New York and Mamdani is the mayor.
“This is something that I intend to fulfill,” Mamdani remarked, reiterating a pledge he had made earlier in the mayoral race, as the Times put it. “It is my desire to ensure that this be a city that stands up for international law.”
In New York, the city’s police commissioner serves at the pleasure of its mayor. But the Times’ report cited legal experts who judged that having Netanyahu arrested “would be a practical impossibility” for Mamdani and could bring him into direct conflict with the federal government.
The US does not recognize the ICC’s authority and is not a party to the body, whose headquarters are at The Hague in the Netherlands. In February, Donald Trump ordered economic sanctions against the ICC, with the president maintaining that the court lacked jurisdiction over the US or Israel….

No he wouldn’t. He is lying. There is not a person with a brain in their head who would think he would have any remote authority to do so. Any attempt to do so would be as egregious of an abuse of law enforcement power than anything Donald Trump himself ever suggests. Mamdani would be the one who would swiftly wind up behind bars.
He is saying this to get votes. The fact that he would even suggest a thing shows how un-serious and dangerous he is.
He IS saying this FOR VOTES……
He wouldn’t get locked Up…..
It would NEVER get down to a actually action….
He WILL get some support on this throw down….
He WILL lose Jewish NYC votes…..
One does not have to be Jewish to be viscerally opposed to a political candidate who claims he will blatantly violate the law in a violent fashion to suit his own personal agenda.
No they don’t…..
But playing politics isn’t just Mamdani…..
The U.N, General Assembly would move its annual meeting outside the U.S. if this kind of nonsense continues: both Trump/Rubio banning Palestinian leaders and Mamdoni threatening Israeli leaders (and I’m someone who believes that Netanyahu is a war criminal, as does much of the world).
The United Nations can’t function if the representatives of nations with clashing policies can’t congregate. That’s the whole point. Or as Churchill said, jaw-jaw-jaw is better than war-war-war.
Next year in Geneva.
I 100% agree with Dave’s comment.
Following an August 2025 announcement by the US State Department, Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas, have had their visas for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) denied or revoked. This has sparked international debate, with UN experts arguing that the move violates the UN Headquarters Agreement….

Guys?
I do NOT think the UN is gonna do a damn thing if Trump TELLS the Mayor of NYC he will do NO SUCH THING…..
Nor do I think ANYBODY else will support Mamdani…
Trump HAS been standing in the shadows while Netanyahu KEEPS trying to do something even his OWN Intel and Military KNOW….
His country is suffering protests against its action internally
Hamas IS in it till the END…..
Mamadani IS going isolate himself if he keeps at this….
And the City of New York in the process….
Oh?
The Middle East other Arabs ain’t doing anything either…,
Didn’t Israel just bomb a building IN QATAR?
IN QATAR????
