Fetterman labels Mamdani ‘clown’ over Netanyahu arrest threat
Senator John Fetterman criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for suggesting the city could arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his September visit for the U.N. General Assembly, calling Mamdani a clown with no legal authority to do so.
Fetterman dismissed Mamdani's claim that New York could enforce an International Criminal Court warrant on Netanyahu, noting that the U.S. is not part of the ICC system and the mayor lacks such power.
Fetterman urged Mamdani to focus on local city issues like potholes and homelessness instead of making threats about Netanyahu's arrest.
Fetterman expressed concern that the spread of anti-Israel views among progressives might force him to reconsider his affiliation with the Democratic Party due to shifting party values.
