NY mayor says still mulling Netanyahu arrest during UN meet

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has suggested considering the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an upcoming UN General Assembly meeting, citing charges by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Mamdani, a leftist mayor known for criticizing Israel, stated that Netanyahu 'belongs in The Hague' due to alleged war crimes related to Israel's actions in Gaza. He acknowledged uncertainty about his authority to detain a foreign leader but indicated discussions with legal counsel. Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon condemned Mamdani's remarks, accusing him of inciting hostility and antisemitism, while asserting that Netanyahu would proceed with his UN address undeterred. Netanyahu separately accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas and hating America.
