Mamdani, who has vowed to arrest Netanyahu, slams capture of Maduro to face US federal charges

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, known for his pledge to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over an international warrant, has criticized the United States for capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Mamdani condemned the operation, calling it a violation of international law and an act of war, and accused the United States of seeking regime change in Venezuela.

The mayor's stance comes amid ongoing controversy over his statements regarding the International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu, despite legal barriers preventing such an arrest in the United States. Federal laws prohibit local authorities from cooperating with the international court or detaining foreign heads of state.
