Mamdaní considers Netanyahu arrest in New York
New York City Mayor Zahran Mammedani stated that his administration is considering the possibility of detaining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his potential visit to the city in September. This follows the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The accusations involve the use of starvation as a weapon against civilians, as well as acts of killing and persecution. However, there is no clear legal framework in the United States to carry out such an arrest, as the U.S. is not a party to the Rome Statute of the ICC. Mammedani confirmed he is discussing the matter with his legal advisor and will act within the limits of the law, emphasizing that he will not issue any special legislation. In response, the Israeli consul stated that Mammedani does not have the authority to detain Netanyahu. The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations criticized the tensions, claiming that Mammedani lacks good governance. Netanyahu is expected to visit New York in September to participate in United Nations meetings. The possibility of his arrest under the ICC warrant has sparked controversy, although enforcement faces legal obstacles due to the United States' non-participation in the Rome Statute.
