Trump, Mamdani clash over Netanyahu arrest

A political battle between President Donald Trump, and New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has escalated into an international dispute over whether Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, could be arrested if he visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly in September.

The dispute began after Mamdani recently called Netanyahu a war criminal in an interview with the New York Times, and that he should face accountability at the International Criminal Court.

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant in relation to alleged war crimes committed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
