The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of war crimes related to actions in Gaza.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has indicated his legal team is considering options to arrest Netanyahu if he visits the city in September for the UN General Assembly.However, US President Donald Trump has publicly supported Netanyahu, stating he will not be arrested in the US.Israel's government has dismissed the ICC warrant as 'bogus' and accused the court of lacking jurisdiction.Mamdani emphasized his commitment to New York law, stating he would follow existing legal frameworks rather than create new ones.The situation highlights broader tensions between the US, Israel, and the ICC, with the US and Israel not being state parties to the Rome Statute.Experts suggest Netanyahu's arrest is unlikely unless he travels to an ICC member country.The controversy also underscores the political implications of the ICC's authority and the US's critical stance towards the court.
