Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed apart Democratic New York Metropolis mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s menace to arrest him as “silly” and teased plans to swing by means of the Massive Apple in defiance of the socialist’s warning.
“I’m not concerned about that,” Netanyahu advised reporters within the White Home’s Blue Room on Monday night throughout his assembly with President Trump. “I’m going to come there with President Trump and we’ll see.”
Final 12 months, Mamdani advised Zeteo that he wouldn’t welcome Netanyahu to New York Metropolis in mild of the Worldwide Felony Courtroom’s warrant for the Israeli chief’s arrest.
“No. 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 advised Zeteo’s editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan final December.
After Netanyahu shrugged off Mamdani’s menace, Trump publicly assured the Israeli prime minister that he had nothing to fret about beneath his watch.
“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,” Trump stated.
“He’s going to behave,” Trump added, referring to Mamdani. “He’ll behave. He better behave. Otherwise, he’s going to have big problems.”
