Mamdani calls for Netanyahu's arrest ahead of NYC visit for United Nations General Assembly
Mamdani told CNN that he believes Netanyahu to be "a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide," and acknowledged that he lacks the authority to arrest him.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reiterated his call for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, ahead of Netanyahu's visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani, who previously investigated the legal feasibility of such an arrest and concluded he lacked the authority, stated on CNN that he believes Netanyahu is "a war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people." He emphasized the importance of accountability, saying, "If the International Criminal Court deems someone worthy of an arrest... then who are we to say that anyone should be above that?" Netanyahu is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly on Thursday, with protests anticipated during his shortened visit.
