Oliver Larkin, a U.S. congressional candidate from Florida, agrees with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani statement that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested. Larkin, who is endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), believes the Israeli government is a “religious supremacist regime,” he told Fox News.
Discussing Netanyahu, Larkin told the outlet, “We need to enforce the law, and to the degree possible, I would support the enforcement by the New York City Police Department or any other law enforcement entity in the United States to enforce that ICC warrant.” He added that he supports a “one-state solution with equal and democratic rights for all people…I do not support a religious supremacist regime, whether it be in Israel or Saudi Arabia, or any other country.”
Larkin went on to declare that he supports abolishing the U.S. Senate, a key element to the DSA platform, as he called it an “undemocratic institution.”
“I do support the abolition of the Senate,” Larkin said in his interview with Fox News. “I live in Broward County, Florida. We have more people in Broward County than 12 states in the country, but you do not see a dozen or two dozen senators representing Broward County in the U.S. Senate. In South Florida, we have more people in the Miami metropolitan area than over 30 states, but you don’t see a two-thirds majority of South Floridians in the United States Senate because this is an institution that is mathematically undemocratic.”
He further blasted the Senate, claiming it values “land over people” and “originates from a compromise with slave-owning states when the Constitution was first passed.”
Larkin is challenging Rep. Jared Moskowitz’s (D) seat.
Mamdani this week asserted that Netanyahu is a “war criminal” and urged federal authorities to arrest him. The Trump administration has ensured that no such thing will happen.
