New York Mayor Urges US to Join ICC and Enforce Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on the United States to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and enforce its arrest warrants, including one against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mamdani described Netanyahu as the "architect of a horrific genocide" related to Israel's military actions in Gaza, which Israel denies. While Mamdani initially pledged to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York, he later acknowledged the city lacks legal authority to do so and urged federal action instead. The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024 over alleged war crimes.
