NYC Mayor debates arrest of Netanyahu
New York City Mayor Zahran Mamdani announced that he is conducting intensive consultations with the legal department to explore the possibility of issuing an arrest order for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his potential visit to the city in September to participate in the United Nations General Assembly meetings. Mamdani described Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and expects that he will be prosecuted before The Hague Court for the crimes committed by the occupying forces in Gaza, which UN committees have labeled as genocide. Mamdani is working to enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court and is currently examining the legal procedures in New York to take the necessary steps, emphasizing that the law will be the ultimate authority in his decision. In response, Netanyahu attacked Mamdani, claiming that he supports Hamas and hates America, a charge Mamdani denied, affirming that his stance is based on ethical and humanitarian principles regarding the necessity of liberating Palestine. It is worth noting that Mamdani’s anti-occupation positions enjoy widespread support within the U.S. Democratic Party, especially after half of the party’s members voted to cut military aid to Israel.
