Can Mamdani arrest Netanyahu in New York
The mayor of New York City, Zahran Mammadani, stated that the city does not have the legal authority to carry out the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling on the U.S. federal government to intervene and enforce it. The International Criminal Court announced in 2024 that it has reasonable evidence linking Netanyahu to war crimes and crimes against humanity due to the Israeli attack on Gaza following Hamas's assault on October 7, 2023. Nonetheless, Mammadani emphasized that the authority to implement the arrest lies solely with the federal government, urging it to join the court and carry out the warrant, especially with the upcoming United Nations summit that Netanyahu might attend.
