On Sunday, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who frequently criticizes his party, said Mamdani\u2019s remarks about the Israeli prime minister were a \u201ctough guy\u201d thing to say. \u201cObviously, America\u2019s not even part of that corrupt court. And so he\u2019s just a clown to even say that,\u201d Fetterman told Fox News, speaking of the International Criminal Court, which has a warrant out for Netanyahu\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s predecessor, Eric Adams \u2014 like Fetterman, a staunch supporter of Israel \u2014 said threatening to arrest Netanyahu \u201cisn\u2019t bold. It\u2019s reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s comments on the New York Times podcast<\/a> \u201cThe Interview\u201d came after 103 House Democrats voted<\/a> Wednesday to cut off military aid to Israel for the next fiscal year.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m not for creating a spectacle. The U.N. is a place that people can come to,\u201d Khanna said<\/a>.<\/p>\n
