New York Mayor, Zohran Mamdaní, Reiterates Commitment to Arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if He Enters the City
In an interview with "ABC News", Mamdaní stated that he would order the city's police to execute the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against Netanyahu if he attends the United Nations General Assembly meetings next year. Emphasizing that the occupation war in Gaza is equivalent to an "act of genocide", Mamdaní asserted that "the city of New York respects international law and that means we strive to enforce it", indicating that "this includes executing the orders of the International Criminal Court". Mamdaní had previously made a similar statement in an interview with "The Guardian" newspaper last September, saying: "If I am elected mayor of New York, I will order the city's police to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to visit us". At the time, he claimed that executing the international warrant against Netanyahu was a "legal and moral duty".
