Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, called for Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest upon entering the United States during an interview with journalist Luke Radil, according to Eye on Palestine. El-Sayed described the Israeli Prime Minister as a "real and proven" threat, though the full scope of his remarks remained unclear from available accounts.
The statement underscores deepening fractures within Democratic ranks over U.S. policy toward Israel. El-Sayed's position reflects growing pressure from progressive voices in the party to take harder stances against Israeli leadership in response to the military campaign in Gaza and related regional tensions.
