New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted on Tuesday evening that the city lacks the authority to order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he arrive for the UN General Assembly in September. At the same time, he called on the US federal government to act regarding the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant. forum24.cz ↗
Mamdani had previously examined whether the New York police could detain Netanyahu during his expected visit to UN headquarters. The reason is the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant over suspected war crimes in the Gaza Strip. However, following a legal review, he stated that the city administration has no legal basis for such a step. respekt.cz ↗
The mayor nevertheless did not change his stance and, in a new video, described Netanyahu as a war criminal. According to several articles, he now expects Washington to take action, since he believes the authority to act should rest with the federal government. This has shifted the dispute from the level of city authorities to the administration of President Donald Trump. denik.cz ↗
Trump had already rejected the possibility of Netanyahu being detained on US territory. According to available reports, he assured the Israeli prime minister that he would not be arrested in the US. The case thus remains politically and legally sensitive ahead of the September UN General Assembly, with further developments depending mainly on the stance of federal authorities and on whether Netanyahu actually travels to New York. reflex.cz ↗
