New York City Mayor Calls for Benjamin Netanyahu’s Arrest Over ICC War Crimes Warrant
New York, USA — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on the United States government to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he travel to New York later this year, citing an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court
In a public statement, Mayor Mamdani described Netanyahu as a “war criminal” and urged federal authorities to enforce the ICC warrant. However, he acknowledged that New York City itself does not have the legal authority to carry out such an arrest. Following a legal review, the mayor said his administration had concluded that any action relating to the ICC warrant would fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal government rather than the city.
The controversy comes ahead of Netanyahu’s expected visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly later this year. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to the conflict in Gaza. Israel rejects the allegations, and Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the accusations as politically motivated and calling the ICC’s case illegitimate.
Netanyahu has responded by confirming that he still intends to travel to New York despite the mayor’s comments. He criticised Mamdani’s remarks, saying they were inflammatory and insisting that he would continue with his planned visit to address the United Nations.
The issue has sparked significant political debate across the United States. Supporters of the mayor argue that international legal rulings should be respected, while critics contend that a U.S. mayor has no authority over foreign policy or the enforcement of international arrest warrants. Legal experts have also noted that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, making enforcement of its warrants within the U.S. legally and diplomatically complex.
The debate highlights the continuing international divisions over the war in Gaza and the role of international justice in addressing allegations of war crimes. As Netanyahu’s anticipated visit approaches, attention is likely to remain focused on how U.S. authorities respond to calls for action under the ICC warrant.
