The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) of Israel criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he suggested he might seek to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city. The PMO dismissed the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a "kangaroo court" with "no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis," calling its arrest warrant for Netanyahu "bogus."
