New York City socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani was widely mocked by conservatives on social media Tuesday after announcing that one of his campaign platforms, arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, isn’t a tool he has at his disposal.In a video post on X that was viewed over 36 million times, Mamdani called Netanyahu a "war criminal" while conceding that New York City could not enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for the Israeli leader’s arrest on its own, despite the mayor saying he had looked at exploring avenues to do so.Mamdani has often said on the campaign trail and as mayor that he wanted to arrest Netanyahu over what the mayor calls a "genocide" in Gaza.While Mamdani’s post was well received by many on the political left, conservatives on social media quickly mocked the mayor over the situation while taking issue with his determination to enforce the ICC warrant, which the United States government does not recognize.MAMDANI’S ‘DERANGED’ ISRAEL TAKE RESURFACES AS HE TARGETS NETANYAHUNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday he determined he did not have the power to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.(Getty Images)"Trying to find where Mamdani called for the arrest of the Hamas terrorists who plotted the October 7th attacks," Arkansas Republican Gov.
