Trump says Benjamin Netanyahu ‘will not be arrested’ if he visits the US
Donald Trump stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested” if he visits the United States, despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued in November 2024 for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Trump’s comments, made in a Truth Social post, directly countered New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s exploration of whether his administration could arrest Netanyahu during the UN General Assembly in September. Mamdani, who believes Netanyahu “belongs in The Hague,” is in active discussions with the city’s law department regarding his authority to detain the Prime Minister, stating, “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do.” The US does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction.
