Mamdani Calls for Netanyahu's Trial
New York Mayor Zehran Mamedani confirmed that the city lacks the independent legal authority to execute the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and he calls on the U.S. federal authorities to enforce it. Although he supports the court and has described Netanyahu as a "war criminal," he pointed out that the implementation of the warrant falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government, urging it to take action. This statement came ahead of Netanyahu's upcoming visit to New York to participate in United Nations meetings, amidst criticisms from Israel and the U.S. administration, which assert that he will not be detained within the United States during his visit. The International Criminal Court issued a arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza war, although American officials have affirmed that Netanyahu will not be arrested while in the United States.
