Zahran Mamdani: No authority to arrest Netanyahu
New York Mayor Zhranan Mamdani spoke about not having the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city. This conclusion was based on a legal review indicating that implementing an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court requires intervention from the federal government, which holds the necessary jurisdiction. This comes at a time when Israel responded to the arrest warrant issued in 2024 on charges of war crimes related to Hamas's attack on Israel in 2023, which Israel denies. Legal experts pointed out that Mamdani does not have the authority to carry out such an arrest and that any procedures must go through the federal government. Meanwhile, politicians and media figures such as Dani Dannon and legal analysts criticized this statement, emphasizing that New York does not possess the legal authority to execute such warrants without approval from the federal government.
