Zahran Mamadaani Considers Netanyahu Arrest in NYC
A report by The New York Times revealed that New York City Mayor Zehran Mamdani is considering issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon his arrival in the city to attend the United Nations meetings in September 2026. During his electoral campaign, Mamdani promised he would arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York, but he also indicated uncertainty about the legal authority to do so, stating he would act in accordance with applicable laws. In response, Netanyahu dismissed the threat as insignificant, accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas, and the Israeli Consul General confirmed that New York lacks the authority to arrest Netanyahu since the United States has not signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, complicating the enforcement of any arrest warrant against Netanyahu within the U.S.
