New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani lit a powder keg earlier this month when he hinted at his desire to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an expected visit to the Big Apple later this year.

Although he has since backed off a bit from those remarks upon being repeatedly informed that he has no authority to do so, several other far-left, anti-Israel Democrats have offered their endorsement of his general opinion.

According to Breitbart, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) made the case during a weekend appearance on MS NOW:

Khanna said, “Well, I have said that the United States should arrest, whether it’s him or Putin, under international law. That is the ICC, if they have a warrant for you, then you shouldn’t come to our jurisdiction. Now, the U.N. may be one thing, but if he’s coming for any other purpose, we should be upholding international law. It has nothing to do with Israel. I’d do it for Putin too, anyone who has a warrant for war crimes.”

 

His remarks sparked a new wave of social media discussion:

The Washington Times added these details:

Mr. Mamdani followed up by admitting he doesn’t have the legal authority to arrest Mr. Netanyahu. New York City lacks the independent power to act on ICC warrants, plus the U.S. is not a member of the ICC and the U.N. maintains diplomatic protection for leaders visiting its New York headquarters.

Still, Mr. Khanna didn’t let up, saying, “This is about accountability. You can’t just kill women and children, have an ICC arrest warrant and then walk into the United States of America and think nothing is gonna happen to you. If you come to our jurisdiction, America is a country that’s gonna enforce international law.”

And here’s another clip of the California Democrat:
