New York’s Mamdani Says City Can’t Arrest Netanyahu for War Crimes New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has labeled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and stated that his city won't welcome him with open arms.
However, in doing so, Mamdani is walking a fine line between principled leadership and grandstanding.
Mamdani's administration spent weeks exploring whether the NYPD could arrest Netanyahu during his planned visit to the city for the UN General Assembly in September.
