NYC Mayor Urges US Government to Enforce ICC Warrant Against Netanyahu, Cites Legal Limits
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that the city lacks the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued for alleged war crimes. Mamdani called on the US federal government to enforce the ICC warrant if Netanyahu visits New York for the UN General Assembly. He described Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and said he is not welcome in the city. US President Donald Trump rejected the possibility of Netanyahu's arrest in the US. Israel's UN ambassador criticized Mamdani's remarks.
