NYC Mayor Can't Arrest Netanyahu | Miami News

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared the city can’t arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—even if he visits—because local authorities lack the power to enforce an ICC arrest warrant, but he’s demanding the federal government act. Mamdani, who previously floated the idea during the UN General Assembly, reaffirmed Netanyahu isn’t welcome in NYC. The ICC’s 2024 warrants target Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza, including starvation as a weapon and targeting civilians—charges Israel denies. Trump backed Netanyahu’s immunity, while Israel’s UN ambassador accused Mamdani of serving Hamas. The mayor’s stance underscores mounting global pressure and the pivotal role of federal action.
