NY mayor says city cannot arrest Netanyahu on ICC warrant

The Straits Times · back to the audit

NEW YORK - New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on July 21 his office does not have the authority to carry out the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and called on US federal officials to step in.

"It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does, and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant."

In the video, Mamdani said: "Anyone - with their eyes, with their heart, with their conscience - should recognise the devastation he has wrought and understand that he belongs before a court of law, as I've said."

Netanyahu's office has dismissed Mamdani's stance and said the ICC is a kangaroo court.
