Here’s why Mamdani can’t arrest Netanyahu despite suggesting otherwise
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s ambitions to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are unlikely to materialize, despite his claims. Mamdani is known as a harsh critic of Israel and has alleged that the Middle Eastern democracy is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, where Netanyahu is leading a war against Hamas terrorists embedded in the area. However, while the mayor cited the International Criminal Court’s warrant as the basis for Netanyahu’s arrest, laws and regulations stipulate that he holds little authority to target the Israeli leader.
