Never going to happen…
After Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s leading mayoral candidate, pledged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, Netanyahu responded to questions about whether he’s worried.
In December, Mamdani, who identifies as a democratic socialist and is the Democrat Party’s nominee for New York City mayor, said, “as mayor, New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.”
“This is a city that our values are in line with international law. It’s time that our actions are also,” Mamdani said, referring to the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant against Netanyahu as well as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday evening to discuss a range of topics, including Iran and Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas.
When asked whether he was worried about the possibility of facing arrest in America’s largest city, Netanyahu said, “I’m not concerned about that.”
The prime minister added, “I’m going to come there with the President Trump and we’ll see.”
He went on to say that Mamdani’s threat is “silly in many ways, because it’s just not serious.”
Trump also chimed in, saying, “We don’t know who the mayor is going to be yet, but this is a communist. He’s not a socialist. He’s a communist, and he’s said some really bad things about Jewish people.”
“He might make it,” Trump said. “But, you know, it all comes through the White House. He needs the money through the White House. He needs a lot.
“He’s going to behave. He’ll behave. He better behave. Otherwise, he’s going to have big problems.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee to nominate President Donald Trump for the peace prize.
While speaking to reporters, Netanyahu spoke about the relationship between Israel and the U.S.
“I want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people and many, many admirers around the world, for your leadership, your leadership of the free world, your leadership of a just cause, and the pursuit of peace and security,” he said. “The president has an extraordinary team, and I think our teams, together, make, an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities.
“But the president has already realized great opportunities. He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak, in one country and one region after the other,” Netanyahu continued. “So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee. It’s nominating you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved.”
Trump accepted the letter, saying he was unaware of the nomination and thanking the prime minister.
Watch:
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
This sociolect candidate scares the H… out of me, and it should scare all voters in New York
Zohran Mamdani must NEVER be allowed to hold any position of power in ANY state of the United States.
For years, we have nagged Congress to CHANGE the damn laws and NOT allow FOREIGN BORN entities to obtain any Head of state position in the USA. They do not have the same values
This man is particularly dangerous, especially because he is BOLD enough to advertise just what he is going to do to the state of New York
One would hope that New York citizens would be more cautious, but then again that is where Alexandria Ocasio Corte comes from – need I say more?
