Trump vows Netanyahu won’t be arrested while visiting US, despite Mamdani’s wishes

US president says premier will 'not be arrested in any way, shape, or form' while in US, in remarks apparently aimed at NYC mayor's expressed desire to nab PM for ICC indictment
US President Donald Trump declared that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "will not be arrested in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America," directly addressing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's stated intention to arrest Netanyahu during his September visit for the UN General Assembly. Mamdani cited an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes. However, legal scholars indicate Mamdani lacks the authority for such an arrest, and US federal law prohibits municipal cooperation with the ICC. Trump criticized the ICC and those who would seek Netanyahu's arrest, linking it to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
