Democrats Eye Fetterman Challenge as Mamdani Stirs Israel Debate, Netanyahu Arrest Looms
A political storm is brewing as top Democrats in Pennsylvania consider challenging Sen. John Fetterman in 2028, while New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani makes waves with his stance on Israel and Hamas. Meanwhile, the arrest of former Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in New York City remains a contentious issue.
Fetterman, who has voted with former President Trump only 6% of the time, according to a conservative group's analysis, has drawn criticism from within his own party for his outspoken support for Israel since October 7, 2023. This deviation from Democratic Party orthodoxy has led some top-ranking party officials in Pennsylvania to consider running against him in the 2028 primary, potentially causing tension within the state's Democratic Party.
Mamdani, a New York City Democratic mayoral candidate, has taken a strong stance against pro-Israel voters, stating that making exceptions for them is harmful to Palestinians and sets a dangerous precedent. He believes that if Bibi Netanyahu enters New York City, the NYPD would arrest him on war crimes charges, despite the U.S. government's stance on the International Criminal Court and diplomatic immunity.
The political landscape in Pennsylvania and New York City is shifting as Democrats grapple with internal disagreements over Israel and Palestine. Meanwhile, the potential arrest of Bibi Netanyahu in New York City remains a topic of debate, with Mamdani's stance contrasting with the U.S. government's position on the matter.
