NYC Can't Arrest Netanyahu But Calls on Fed | Fargo News

New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, declared the city can’t arrest Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu—even if he visits—because it lacks legal authority, but he’s urging the federal government to act. Mamdani, who previously vowed to pursue Netanyahu’s arrest over Gaza war crimes, called him a “war criminal” and said he’s unwelcome in New York. The ICC’s arrest warrant, citing crimes against humanity, has sparked backlash, including from former Israeli ambassador Danny Danon, who accused Mamdani of promoting Hamas propaganda. Former President Trump also weighed in, saying Netanyahu won’t be arrested in the U.S. As the city’s hands are tied, the spotlight now turns to Washington—and whether the U.S. will heed the ICC’s call, with major diplomatic stakes at play.
