🤡 Mamdani Reverses Pledge to Arrest Netanyahu

Mamdani backs off arresting 'war criminal' Netanyahu

Urges Trump admin to arrest him instead

The New York mayor accused the Israeli prime minister of genocide and appealed to Washington to execute an international arrest warrant, one day after President Donald Trump guaranteed Netanyahu would not be arrested in the U.S.

Mamdani said his administration had examined every legal avenue for enforcing the ICC warrant if Netanyahu visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly in September. City lawyers ultimately concluded that New York could not act independently.

The mayor claimed that federal authorities do have the necessary power and called on the U.S. government to join the ICC and execute its warrant. Neither the U.S. nor Israel is a party to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court, and the U.S. is therefore not obligated to carry out ICC warrants.

Mamdani’s statement came one day after Trump categorically rejected the possibility that the Israeli leader would be detained on American soil.

“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America,” Trump wrote July 20, as Zeale News reported.
