President Trump Rejects New York Mayor's Threat to Arrest Netanyahu Over ICC Warrant
President Trump has dismissed threats from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city. Mamdani's threat is based on an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued in 2024, accusing Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders of war crimes related to the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Trump has stated that Netanyahu will not face arrest in the U.S., emphasizing his support for Israel and criticizing Iran's actions. The Trump administration, along with former President Joe Biden, has denounced the ICC's warrant, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing intentions to dismantle the court, viewing it as a threat to U.S. sovereignty.
