Mamdani Calls for US to Enforce ICC Warrant on Netanyahu
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on the US federal government to enforce the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mamdani stated that his administration does not have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York City in September.
He argued that the federal government should take action to enforce the warrant, which was issued for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Former US President Donald Trump, however, stated that Netanyahu would not be arrested if he visited the US.
The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024, and Israel has rejected the allegations, disputing the court's jurisdiction.
