New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is again insisting that he would seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if the foreign leader were to visit the city. Mamdani reiterated the position Friday during an interview on \u201cPolitics Unusual\u201d with host Morgan McKay.<\/p>\n

McKay asked Mamdani when he plans to meet Mayor Eric Adams as part of the transition process.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s currently abroad, when he returns we\u2019ll be having that meeting,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

McKay noted that Adams was in Israel and had publicly invited Netanyahu to attend Mamdani\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve said in the past that you want to arrest Netanyahu for alleged war crimes,\u201d McKay said. \u201cDo you plan to arrest Netanyahu on your first day?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani replied, \u201cSo, my plan on my first day is to become sworn in as the next Mayor of New York City and deliver on the \u2018affordability agenda.\u2019 I\u2019ve said time and again, this is a city of international law, a city that believes in those values and one that should honor the warrants that have been issued by the International Criminal Court, be it for Vladimir Putin or Benjamin Netanyahu.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAnd I\u2019ve also said that, unlike Donald Trump, I\u2019m not going to create my own set of laws, and what that means is exhausting every single legal option.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani said his focus is on governing the city, not on Adams\u2019 travel or statements.<\/p>\n
