Netanyahu to Mamdani: Visiting New York
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed his intention to travel to New York in September to participate in the United Nations General Assembly meetings, despite calls from the city’s mayor, Zahran Mmdani, not to receive him due to the arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court in 2024. Netanyahu stated that he will present "the truth" to Mmdani and confront what he considers an escalation of division within the city, accusing the warrant of being issued by a corrupt and evil organization. Meanwhile, Mmdani emphasized that the authority to arrest Netanyahu falls within federal authorities, clarifying that he does not have legal power to detain him. However, he described Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and called on the United States to execute the warrant. The visit comes after Netanyahu’s meeting with U.S. President Trump in Washington and reflects the global controversy surrounding arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court, especially amid ongoing investigations into the war in Gaza.
