House Republicans lashed out at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Saturday after reports revealed that the rising star in the Democratic Party was actively considering arresting a key ally to President Donald Trump.Speaking with The New York Times, Mamdani revealed that he was having “active” conversations with the New York City Law Department about whether he could order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s scheduled to visit New York City in September for a gathering of the United Nations General Assembly.In 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for alleged crimes related to Israel’s siege on Gaza, which countless human rights groups and a United Nations committee have labeled a genocide. The ICC alleged that Netanyahu has used starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directed attacks on civilians.“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” Mamdani told the Times when asked whether he planned to order the arrest of Netanyahu, long a key ally to Trump.Responding to reports of Mamdani’s remarks, the official House Republicans account on X lashed out at the progressive mayor and urged him to instead focus on addressing “antisemitism” in his city.“Mamdani is threatening to arrest the head of one of our closest allies,” reads a post from the House Republicans’ account on X published Saturday. “He should stop politicizing local law enforcement and interfering with US foreign policy and instead focus on rising rent and housing prices and antisemitism in NYC.”House Republicans’ post was shared by Netanyahu’s son, Yair Netanyahu, a podcast host and avid supporter of Israel who since 2023 has lived in a “luxury Florida apartment,” despite being eligible for military service, The Jewish Chronicle reported.Mamdani is threatening to arrest the head of one of our closest allies. He should stop politicizing local law enforcement and interfering with US foreign policy and instead focus on rising rent and housing prices and antisemitism in NYC. https://t.co/xWA4TnXZVX— House Republicans (@HouseGOP) July 18, 2026
