New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he is exploring the legal possibility of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he travels to the city for the UN General Assembly in September.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “other inhumane acts.”
Mamdani, who has characterized Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as genocide, vowed during his mayoral campaign last year to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York City. During an episode of The New York Times’ The Interview podcast that aired on Saturday, the mayor was asked whether he still intended to fulfill that pledge.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” he responded, referring to the seat of the ICC, where those accused of major international crimes are tried. “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court, and what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
Accredited representatives of member states are generally granted diplomatic immunity while on official UN visits, but Mamdani said he was in “an active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about potential legal options.
“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do,” he said. “But we won’t be writing our own laws to that end.”
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused Mamdani of failing to confront a “rising wave of antisemitism” and instead choosing to “incite hostility” against the Jewish state. He confirmed that Netanyahu intends to address the General Assembly during its annual High-Level Week, scheduled for September 22–28, saying the mayor’s position “will not change a thing.”
“And if anyone should be arrested, it is NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” the ambassador added in a post on X.
Netanyahu said in a recent radio interview that he was not concerned about Mamdani’s threats to detain him, accusing the New York mayor of “championing” Hamas and hating America.
Neither the US nor Israel is a party to the ICC, and federal law prohibits state and local authorities from cooperating with requests from the court. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said last year that the mayor lacked the authority to arrest Netanyahu.

That’s definitely one way to get 💯full support for Mamdani!!!! Go Mamdani!
And while we’re at it can we please arrest all the Treasonous people in America who have gotten off scott free including the Genocidal killer Dr. Fauci
arrest Mamdani also and the mayor of Seattle and Chicago the list is long——————–
Fauci was the patsy for the red herring, the lab theory.
Space/NASA are the real culprits.
And I bet ElonGated was bare minimum the payloader for such evil works…. No one ever reports of what happened to that 1st red Tesla up there….. The cause of CoViDs are certain directed frequencies.
Who Is He?
Mayor Mamdani threatens to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Who is this Zohran Mandani? He was a nobody until campaigning for Mayor of NYC and winning with 30% of the suicidal Jewish vote. The USA is not a signatory to the notorious International Criminal Court rejected even by President Clinton.
Mamdani is a Mohammaden (Muslim). In threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mamdani is following the precepts of his bible, the Koran. It instructs him to slay the Prime Minister and , be you a Christian, an idolater, to slay you.
“When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush for them everywhere. ” -The Recital (The Koran), Repentance 9:5
Maybe he should be sent to the Hague but every communist should be under a pile pf dirt too
Just like anything the trust fund babies says he wants to do.
Tel Aviv should be arrested in DC-the US is nothing but their whore…and then Trump should be impeached and jailed.
Tel Aviv is not a person that can be arrested.
Do you live in the U.S. ?
If not fix the shithole where you live, no doubt off of someone elses dime, insted of you running your cox ucker about something that isn’t your business.
If you do live in the U.S. you should leave the U.S. and try to live anywhere else.
Impeach Trump ? What again. This time why don’t all of you that think another impeachment will work why don’t you idiots pool your money to try again the next time . Not wasting taxpayer money.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result from the last time
What’s the thumbs down ?
Because you aren’t able to express in writing I’m wrong.
Um, ok
I’m waiting to tie up the court system to legitimise the first third world DUAL citizen to run for a cabinet office.
Afterall, we’ve had a tranny surgeon general, next a mooslum VP.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
So, what happens when a jew president and a mooslum vp run a country?
Coming soon, in a fall..
Surgeon general is appointed. The v.p. gets the job because of who gets elected for potus.
So what happens IF is not when. You don’t know what would happen in the future no matter what happens.
I bet Nutty Yahoo would agree to be “arrested” to help fellow Epstein class member and fake Muslim socialist Zohran. He’d become the favorite for the 2028 presidential election and is probably already a controlled globalist/Israel asset. NY police couldn’t extradite a foreign head of state anywhere, so it’d be an empty gesture political stunt and only a mild inconvenience for Nutty Yahoo. Plus, he could leverage the embarrassment into an IOU from oblivious Chump for more military escalation.
Um, ok
TrumpDeception wants to eat out Netanyahu’s bunghole.
Wow, the troll farm consisting of ChuckBerryFarted, APrisoner, ALoggingAlex, Intothenight79, and missile 11 really seem exceptionally horny today. It must be the weather. Hopefully you guys clean up all the jizz from your cubicles as an insurance company takes those desks on Monday morning 😉
How about we arrest, convict and jail ALL criminal sub human creatures in society.
Fugitives from justice, film at 11.
We ?
I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in Guantánamo Bay – being tortured for every single dead person murdered by this genocidal maniac. Make sure he does NOT die – just suffers a long, long time…..
Ditto for Donald J.ewbag Trump!
Sounds good! Please arrest Trump also if he is in Netanyahu’s company and be very rough during the arrest 🙂
I would love to see both Trump and Netanyahu get tazed a few times and writhe on the ground 😉
Our useless US Marshals will line up in droves to arrest the Tate brothers for whatever another country blames them for. But when the ICC says Satanyahu is wanted for WAR CRIMES/GENOCIDE these same PIGS stand down.
If this doesn’t tell you that the (jews) run the US GOV. Then I’m afraid nothing will!
If Bibi show up in New York wearing a purple blouse, capris, and womens shoes they will definitely arrest him.
Muslims in America. The worst thing ever.
And its no worse than jewish parasites in America, they all need to get the fuck out.
The first good thing Ive heard out of that mudslimes mouth yet. Fuck Satanyahoo, hang that motherfucker high and for the world to see.
Of course he is. He’s an Islamist.
I hope he does it.
agreed 10000%
Sig Heil, fucker.
You can gtfo here too.
No doubt many here in The United States want to do th same to commie blowjobs like him.
Don’t be a pussy, Zohran. DO IT! See what happens…
