Netanyahu Will Not Be Arrested While in US, Trump Reacts to Mamdani's Remarks

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will "not be arrested while in the United States of America" after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that his administration is examining legal avenues to detain the Israeli leader. The diplomatic friction intensified after Mamdani asserted to The New York Times that Netanyahu was a "war criminal" who "belongs in The Hague.

"The New York City Mayor revealed that municipal officials are engaged in an "active conversation" with the city's Law Department to ascertain the exact scope of local legal authority should the Israeli Prime Minister arrive in the city."Whatever the law allows me to do



in New York City, that's what we will do," Mamdani stated, clarifying that his office is not attempting to legislate new local statutes to enforce the measure.

"Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America. He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protestors, and has spent the last 47 years killing American Soldiers, and others. The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented SPIRAL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, something that should have been dealt with years ago, by previous Presidents! President DONALD J. TRUMP," he wrote.
