Evening Edition: Mayor Mamdani is Obsessed with Arresting PM Netanyahu, But He Can't

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would love to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, something he has threatened since his campaign, but acknowledged this week that he does not have the authority to do so despite promising to do so during his mayoral campaign, and recently repeating the threat multiple times. Mamdani has also faced questions over criticism that his focus on Netanyahu created a one-sided account of the Israel-Hamas war refusing to label the October 7th attacks as terrorism and attempt at genocide. And that anti-Israel opinion is spreading through the Democrat and Democratic Socialist party. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Doug Schoen, lawyer and former political advisor to President Bill Clinton, who calls the the threat of arresting Netanyahu political postering, and also takes a look at rising antisemitism in the Democrat Party.
