NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he may order Netanyahu’s arrest
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mr. Mamdani told Lulu Garcia-Navarro this week on “The Interview,” a New York Times show, referring to the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice. 🎁 Article www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/n...
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mr. Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
Now THAT would be a bold move. Morally warranted, in my view, but I wonder if it's realistic. Would Netenyahu be protected by diplomatic immunity?
I want him arrested and tried for war crimes. My God they just found mass graves of human beings with their hands tied. Israel did that.
& for quite some time now... Have at it. 😎
Mamdani does not have the jurisdiction, so at least if he keeps making noise like this Netanyahu will finally be dominated and will stay away anyway
And he's not the only one.
thehill.com/homenews/sta... Sounds like a good plan. Not sure he can make it work. It he could only address the issue to arrest the treasonous, corrupt, cowardly criminal.
Legally, it's dubious. Technically speaking, any international person of authority /can/ enforce ICC warrants and such. But also technically, the US hasn't agreed to do so. Zohran could get the NYPD to act, but the federal government could command them to stand down.
I say do it. Put all the murdering regimes around the world on notice.
Hopefully he has an arrangement with the World Court to extradite immediately.
