New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an interview on Theo Von's podcast “This Past Weekend,” aired Oct. 2, that the United States should join the International Criminal Court and enforce all of its warrants, including a 2024 ICC warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Mamdani called Netanyahu “the architect of a horrific genocide.” Neither the US nor Israel recognizes the ICC's jurisdiction. Mamdani also discussed Netanyahu's recent UN General Assembly address, in which Netanyahu criticized him by name; Mamdani called the experience “strange.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to say whether he agreed with Mamdani's call.

Right-leaning outlets foreground Mamdani's call to arrest Netanyahu and his ‘genocide’ remark, with RedState's headline notably more mocking and opinionated than the straighter news framing used by the New York Post, Fox News and Breitbart.
