New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stated that legal experts are reviewing whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could face arrest if he visits the city to attend the United Nations General Assembly. According to Mamdani, any action would depend on whether U.S. law permits authorities to recognize and act on the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant. Since the United States is not a member of the ICC, the legal situation remains uncertain and highly complex. Analysts believe the issue is likely to become a major political controversy rather than a purely legal matter, attracting significant international attention during the UN General Assembly in September.
