Sen. John Fetterman criticizes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be arrested over allegations of war crimes. In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Fetterman responds to Mamdani’s comments by saying Mamdani, as a mayor, does not have the authority to order arrests—adding that a local official can handle day-to-day municipal tasks but cannot direct law enforcement to arrest a foreign head of government. Fetterman also addresses the broader context of the allegations, stating that Mamdani appears angry at Netanyahu and linking that anger to conflicts involving figures Fetterman says Mamdani admires, while referencing leaders associated with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Both outlets describe Fetterman using the term “clown” to characterize Mamdani’s remarks and framing his position as a matter of jurisdiction and legal authority rather than the underlying political dispute.
