NYC Mayor Eyes Netanyahu Arrest | Portland Maine News
Description
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is exploring whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be arrested during his UN visit, citing ICC arrest warrants for war crimes in Gaza — though he stresses the city won’t create new laws, only act within existing frameworks. Israel and the U.S. reject the ICC’s jurisdiction, and critics including Trump and Senator Fetterman dismiss the idea as legally baseless. While legal experts say the mayor lacks authority, Mamdani’s remarks spotlight deep Democratic Party divisions over Gaza, with progressives pushing harder against Israel while pro-Israel voices push back against what they call an emerging anti-Israel faction within their own party.
