Oh please do it. Imagine being able to arrest Hitler when everyone knew he's not just invading but genociding. Should have arrested Putin in Anchorage, too.

Noticed the Israeli diplomat didn’t deny anything.

He just screamed about antisemitism.

I can see where this might not be a legal possibility. While it may be legal for NYPD to arrest a foreign national based on an ICC warrant, it would arguably be the United States - not New York City - that is authorized to hand such a prisoner over to ICC, because that is an international matter.

Or, since the warrant is from outside the US, the feds might even need to be involved in the arrest.

Just do it. Arrest him and immediately put him on a plane to the Netherlands. Let the ICC deal with him.

Just say you were helping ICE deport a violent individual with a warrant. Force the fascists to justify being against that since that's exactly what they've been claiming ICE is doing, and bypassing the courts to do so.

While The US is not a signatory to the ICC, it IS in an extradition treaty with Interpol, and THEY DO have the jurisdiction to act on ICC warrants.

Just a little nugget.

Amazing. I hope zohran does it.

Netanyahu has accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas, saying on a recent New York radio show: “I think, secretly, he hates America.”

Lol. Projection, perhaps.

So Israel and its leaders can do whatever they want, and anyone who calls them out on it is automatically "inciting anti-semitism?"

I'm not sure that's how this works, pal.

He will get murdered if he arrests Netanyahu

The US doesn't recognize the ICC, is not party to the Rome Statute and it is not legal to enforce their warrants there. This is why he is being coy about it. People want him (Mamdani) to do something that is illegal for him to do in the US and will get him murdered.

So many bibi bots on here with stupid talking points. Please arrest this POS so he can rot in a prison for his crimes against humanity. If this terrorist bibi does it to the Palestinians what makes you think he wouldn't do it to you? I already like Zohran but if he did this he should run for president and take away all of Israel aid cause no one else has the balls to do it and I would fully support Zohran for a Presidential run!

Announcing it loudly, so Bibi can avoid the meeting. Why...

Just do it following the arrest warrant by ICC.
Afair the USA doesn't recognize the ICC.
But as they don't follow an awful lot of their own laws, they could follow some foreign ones for a change ;)

If any local police department were capable of arresting a world leader it would be the NYPD. For decades the NYPD has operated more like an intelligence agency than a police department, even making arrests outside the country. I don't consider that to be a good thing (in my opinion what the NYPD has been allowed to become is criminal), but it sure makes the suggestion that they might be used to arrest the Prime Minister of a foreign country a lot more plausible.

Wow, this is a really shitty article.

Cold you not find one that calls the genocide a genocide? And doesn't give a platform to wanted war criminals?

Can he not just invite interpol to do it?

All he has to do is invite interpol to the UN assembly and give them authority to make arrests in his city. Let them handle the rest. I wouldn't trust NYPD with the task anyway...

Just do it and face the legal consequences later.
