WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubles down on a promise that he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to the city.<\/p>\n

“It is important that New York City is in compliance with international criminal law,” Mamdani said in an interview with The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., pushed back on Mamdani\u2019s comments, saying that New York City doesn\u2019t have jurisdiction to do that.<\/p>\n

He told the newspaper that Mamdani\u2019s proposal was \u201csimply unrealistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani said during an interview with Mehdi Hasan last year that he would arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs mayor, New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu,\u201d Mamdani told the MSNBC host. \u201cThis is a city that our values are in line with international law. It\u2019s time that our actions are also.”<\/p>\n

Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal last week and the Israeli hostages that were alive were released<\/a>. Palestinian prisoners were also released.<\/p>\n

Mamdani said he hopes that the ceasefire deal will hold and that peace will be delivered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also know this news brings solace to millions of New Yorkers, who\u2019ve felt the pain of the past few years,\u201d he wrote on X. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have watched as our tax dollars have funded a genocide. The moral and human cost will be a lasting stain and requires accountability and real examination of our collective conscience and our government\u2019s policies. The responsibility now lies with those of us who believe in peace to make sure it endures, and that it is just.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubles down on a promise that he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1412,101,315,3965,1445,1450,9,24,55,54,56,3966],"class_list":{"0":"post-3896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-accountability","9":"tag-arrest","10":"tag-ceasefire","11":"tag-international-law","12":"tag-mamdani","13":"tag-netanyahu","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-new-york-city-headlines","17":"tag-new-york-city-news","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-palestinian-prisoners"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
