Israel's UN Ambassador Says NYC Mayor Should Be Arrested, Not Netanyahu

On July 18, 2026, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — not Prime Minister Netanyahu — should be arrested. The remark followed Mamdani's stated position that Netanyahu should face arrest if he visits NYC, though the mayor conceded he would not rewrite city law to carry it out. Neither statement has a identified legal mechanism behind it.
