Trump has vowed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'will not be arrested' in the United States, escalating a growing clash over whether New York City could attempt to enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against the Israeli leader.
The statement came after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his administration was examining what legal options might exist if Netanyahu visits the city for the United Nations General Assembly later this year. Legal experts have questioned whether such an arrest could be carried out, but the remarks have sparked a broader debate over the reach of the ICC and the limits of local authority in the US.
