New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is examining whether police could detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in September if he travels to New York for the UN General Assembly. The reason is an International Criminal Court arrest warrant concerning suspicions of war crimes in the Gaza Strip. forum24.cz ↗
According to several reports, Mamdani is discussing this possibility with members of his office. He stated that such a step would only be considered if it were permitted by applicable laws. The topic emerged ahead of the Israeli prime minister's expected September visit to the UN headquarters, where world leaders regularly meet. reflex.cz ↗
The case raises legal questions, since it involves a possible intervention by local authorities against a foreign prime minister during a visit related to UN proceedings. According to available information, some experts consider such a step illegal. However, it is not yet known whether Mamdani's office has reached a legal conclusion or is preparing concrete measures.

The situation thus remains open ahead of the September UN General Assembly. Further developments will depend on the legal assessment by New York authorities, on Netanyahu's possible trip to New York, and on the broader diplomatic circumstances surrounding the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant. novinky.cz ↗
