New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has intensified the debate over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned U.S. visit by urging the federal government to enforce the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against the Israeli leader. However, Mamdani clarified that New York City has no legal authority to carry out such an arrest, despite earlier campaign promises.
Mamdani said Netanyahu is "not welcome" in New York and called on the United States to recognize the ICC and act on its warrant. His remarks have drawn sharp criticism from Israeli officials, several Democratic leaders, and President Donald Trump, who has said Netanyahu will not be arrested while visiting the U.S. The controversy has also reignited debate over U.S. policy toward Israel, the ICC's jurisdiction, and the limits of a mayor's legal authority.
