NYC Mayor Mamdani Calls on Federal Government to Execute ICC Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu, Concedes NYPD Lacks Authority

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called on the federal government to execute the ICC's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at a July 22, 2026 press conference, labeling him the "architect of horrific genocide." Mamdani conceded the NYPD has no legal authority to act without federal direction. Neither the U.S. nor Israel is an ICC member. President Trump has said Netanyahu "will not be arrested" on U.S. soil.
