Summary
John Fetterman said Zohran Mamdani was a “clown” for threatening to have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if the Israeli leader comes to New York for the September U.N. General Assembly.
On Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” the Pennsylvania senator argued Mamdani has no power to do that and said the United States is not part of the ICC, which issued a November 2024 warrant for Netanyahu.
Mamdani has repeatedly called Netanyahu a war criminal and told The New York Times his administration is exploring whether New York City has legal authority to arrest him; City Hall did not immediately respond to questions.
Fetterman used the clash to widen his criticism of the Democratic left, saying he could reconsider staying in the party if it adopts anti-Israel positions.
