President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not face arrest during his visit to the United States. This statement came in response to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inquiry about the possibility of enforcing an international court’s arrest warrant against Netanyahu while he was in the city.
The issue arose after Mayor Mamdani expressed his support for implementing the international court’s warrant. He considered whether city police could detain the Israeli leader. This development has created a point of tension between local and federal authorities over international legal proceedings.
President Trump made clear during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, that any attempt to detain Netanyahu would not occur. His declaration aims to prevent any diplomatic discord between the U.S. and Israel while Netanyahu conducts his business in the country.
