Former US President Donald Trump has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested while in the United States. Trump made the statement on social media on Monday, asserting that Netanyahu would not be arrested "in any way, shape, or form" during his time in the country. The declaration comes after Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate, said he was exploring the possibility of arresting Netanyahu if the Israeli leader visited the city for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September. Mamdani’s comments were in response to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Netanyahu related to the conflict in Gaza. Trump’s statement effectively dismisses any such possibility, implying that the US would not cooperate with the ICC warrant. The ICC warrant accuses Netanyahu of war crimes, but the US is not a member of the court and has previously rejected its jurisdiction over American and allied officials. Netanyahu has not yet confirmed his attendance at the UN General Assembly. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over the ICC’s actions and the US stance on international law. Trump’s comments are likely to be seen as a show of support for Netanyahu amid international scrutiny.
