NYC Mayor Pushes U.S. to Arrest Netanyahu | Hattiesburg News

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reversed his earlier threat to arrest Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu during his UN visit, clarifying the city lacks legal authority to enforce ICC arrest warrants — but is now urging the U.S. federal government to act, calling for accountability over war crimes in Gaza. The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024, citing atrocities, though Israel and the U.S. reject its jurisdiction. Amid a conflict that ended in October 2025 with over 73,000 Palestinian deaths, Mamdani insists Netanyahu must face justice, while former President Trump opposes any arrest, framing it as part of Israel’s defense against Iran. The mayor’s office exhausted all local options — now, the federal government is his only recourse. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
