Mamdani: NYC cannot arrest Netanyahu; urges ICC enforcement
TL;DR Summary
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he cannot independently arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he travels to NYC, and asks federal authorities to enforce the ICC’s arrest warrant over alleged Gaza war crimes. The ICC’s jurisdiction concerns states party to the Rome Statute, and the U.S. is not a member, complicating enforcement. Netanyahu is slated to visit New York for the UN General Assembly, and former President Trump commented that Netanyahu would not be arrested in the U.S.
