## Resource

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared Benjamin Netanyahu unwelcome in the city, citing an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza — particularly the use of starvation as a weapon and targeting of civilians. Though NYC lacks legal authority to enforce the warrant, Mamdani is pushing the federal government to act, especially as Netanyahu is set to attend the UN General Assembly in September. Mamdani, a former activist and rapper, frames this as a moral imperative to defend human dignity. Meanwhile, former President Trump vows Netanyahu won’t be arrested in the U.S., echoing his broader opposition to the ICC, while Israel’s UN ambassador urges the mayor to focus on local issues. The federal government now faces mounting pressure to decide how — or if — to respond to this international legal standoff on American soil.
