Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) echoes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested when he visits the United States next week. Khanna tells a reporter that the U.S. president “should arrest Netanyahu or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin in accordance with international law,” framing the demand in terms of legal obligations rather than addressing specific actions at the visit itself.
Both outlets describe Khanna’s remarks as a direct replication of Mamdani’s position, with the comments timed around Netanyahu’s U.S. trip. The reporting characterizes the statements as an effort to apply international-law considerations through U.S. action. The articles do not provide additional details on the legal basis beyond the reference to “international law,” nor do they describe any formal steps taken by the administration or whether there is any change in security or diplomatic arrangements tied to the requests.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the alignment between Khanna and Mamdani in calling for Netanyahu’s arrest during his U.S. visit.
