Netanyahu slams NYC mayor's arrest threat
The Prime Minister's Office accused Zohran Mamdani of attacking the Jewish state after the mayor suggested he could arrest the Israeli leader.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office (PMO) criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for suggesting he might 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" and a "clear attempt by Khan to divert public attention." Mamdani, who cited the ICC warrant, stated he is consulting with the city's Law Department and believes Netanyahu "belongs in The Hague." Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon and U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz also condemned Mamdani's remarks, with Waltz explaining that diplomatic protections and federal authority would prevent such an arrest.
