Mamdani goes back on campaign promise, says NYC can't arrest Netanyahu
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged he cannot enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reversing a 2025 campaign promise. Mamdani called Netanyahu a 'war criminal' and urged the federal government to act, while Netanyahu's office dismissed the ICC as a 'kangaroo court' with no jurisdiction over Israelis.
