NYC Mayor Mamdani Weighs Netanyahu Arrest During New York Visit | Dawn News English [l9dK2WPXe40]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says his administration is examining whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be arrested if he visits the city for the United Nations General Assembly in September. In an interview to The New York Times, Mamdani said Netanyahu “belongs in The Hague” and confirmed that city lawyers are reviewing whether the mayor or the NYPD would have the legal authority to act on the International Criminal Court arrest warrant. The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, allegations rejected by Israel. The debate raises major questions about international law, diplomatic immunity and the limits of a New York mayor’s authority. #NYC #Mamdani #Netanyahu #NewYorkCity #ICC #UNGA #InternationalLaw #Gaza #Israel #WorldNews--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
