Mamdani has publicly expressed intentions to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York, drawing criticism from various figures. Trump responded by asserting that Netanyahu cannot be arrested in the U.S. and defended his actions against Iran, which he claims has caused significant harm.
