NYC Mayor Says City Cannot Arrest Netanyahu Despite Earlier Pledge

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a July 22 video that the city cannot arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under a warrant from the International Criminal Court, a global court that countries — not cities — enforce. Mamdani stepped back from his 2025 campaign promise to have the NYPD arrest Netanyahu. He called Netanyahu a "war criminal" and said he is not welcome in New York.
