Controversy has erupted in Israel as Jerusalem mayoral candidate Mansour Mamdani reaffirms his vow to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he wins the election. During his campaign, Mamdani sparked outrage when he promised to take Netanyahu into custody, citing allegations of corruption and abuse of power.

This bold stance has raised questions about the limits of a mayor's authority and the potential implications for the prime minister's immunity.
