Ro Khanna echoes Mamdani’s calls for Netanyahu arrest
- On Friday, Rep. Ro Khanna publicly urged President Donald Trump to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin's detention.
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earlier this month reiterated his desire to arrest Netanyahu, a demand he first made during his campaign last October, though he later acknowledged lacking legal authority.

- Recent leadership turmoil at the International Criminal Court further complicates the warrant's legitimacy; ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was formally removed from his post on Friday following misconduct allegations.
