New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated his administration is exploring whether the city can arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits for the United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani called Netanyahu a 'war criminal' and cited ongoing discussions with the city's Law Department, while U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz dismissed the claims as political theater, citing legal protections for foreign leaders.
