New York Mayor Zoharan Mamdani admitted that he could not arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier he had talked about taking legal advice for this. Now Mamdani said New York would not be able to enforce the arrest warrant issued by the world’s top war-crimes court for Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, but he urged the central government to do so.
Israeli PM benjamin netanyahu He is going to New York to attend the session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2026.
In the video, Mamdani called the Israeli Prime Minister a ‘war criminal’ and said he was not welcome in New York City.
“It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant,” the New York mayor said in a video posted on Twitter. Referring to the International Criminal Court (ICC), he said, ‘However, the central government has this authority and I call on them to join the ICC and implement this warrant.’
Mamdani told The New York Times earlier this month that he and the city’s legal department were discussing whether to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York City for the UN General Assembly in September.
President donald trump In a social media post on Monday, Netanyahu told that ‘he will not be arrested in any way during his stay in the United States.’ Mamdani was not mentioned directly in the post.
Mamdani said during his mayoral election campaign last year that he would try to order the city’s police to arrest Netanyahu under a criminal court warrant over his role in the Gaza war.
In his video message on Tuesday, Mamdani said his administration had reviewed all available options and determined that the city could not enforce the arrest warrant.
The world’s top war-crimes court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in 2024, charging them with crimes against humanity in relation to the Gaza war.
The ICC found that Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant have used “starvation as a method of war” by blocking humanitarian aid and deliberately targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza – allegations that Israeli officials deny.
