The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he stated he was considering arresting Netanyahu during an upcoming United Nations summit in New York. Mamdani told The New York Times, "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court." Netanyahu's office responded on X, stating, "Mr Mamdani should focus on fixing the damage his policies have caused New York." They also called the International Criminal Court a "kangaroo court" with no jurisdiction over Israelis or Americans, dismissing its arrest warrant against Netanyahu as "bogus" and issued by a "disgraced former ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan." Mamdani has previously vowed to use the NYPD to enforce ICC arrest warrants against leaders like Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
