Mamdani urges US government to arrest Netanyahu if Israeli PM visits US
New York mayor admits he does not have authority to arrest Netanyahu, adding Israeli PM is ‘architect of a horrific genocide’
Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, acknowledged on Tuesday he does not have the authority to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, but urged US federal authorities to do so if the Israeli prime minister visits the US later this year.
“Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people,” Mamdani said in a video posted to social media.
Mamdani said he believed the international criminal court warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest over alleged war crimes was justified, but admitted he lacked the legal authority to enforce it.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has admitted that city authorities do not have the power to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit the city.
Netanyahu, who has been charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court, is expected to visit New York in September for the United Nations general assembly.
Mamdani earlier in the week said he was in “active” discussions with law enforcement, after having consistently labelled Netanyahu a war criminal over the Gaza invasion.
In a video posted to social media today, Mamdani acknowledged that it would be impossible to carry out an arrest in the name of the ICC.
