Trump dismisses NY Mayor Mamdani's threat to arrest Netanyahu
US President Donald Trump dismissed New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's threat to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a UN summit, vowing Netanyahu would not be arrested in the US. Mamdani, unsure of his legal authority to detain a foreign leader, stated his administration is considering the move based on the International Criminal Court's 2024 allegations against Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu rejected Mamdani's stance, calling the ICC a 'kangaroo court' and accusing the mayor of supporting Hamas.
