The article discusses the impossibility of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York due to U.S. legal restrictions. Zahran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York City, expressed that he lacks the legal authority to detain Netanyahu during his visit, despite having previously considered such a step. Legal experts clarified that the United States does not have mechanisms to execute arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court because Washington is not a member and grants immunity to foreign leaders and diplomatic officials. They also noted that opposition from unions and international organizations to the current immunity laws prevents the federal government from arresting Netanyahu without significant legal changes. The statements emphasize that such arrests would only be possible if the U.S. joined the International Criminal Court and abolished immunity laws, which is unlikely at present.
