NYC Mayor Calls for Federal Action on Netanyahu Warrant | Calgary News

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani boldly declares the city can’t arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu over ICC war crime warrants—but vows to push the federal government to do it, calling Netanyahu a war criminal unwelcome in New York. As global leaders descend for the UN General Assembly, Mamdani reiterates his stance, even if Netanyahu doesn’t come. The ICC issued warrants in 2024 for alleged crimes against humanity in Gaza, including starvation and civilian targeting—charges Israel denies. Trump publicly backs Netanyahu against arrest, while Israeli officials slam Mamdani for overstepping. With the U.S. rejecting ICC authority, Mamdani’s move shifts responsibility to Washington, marking a sharp political moment ahead of the UN summit.
