Story summary

In a podcast interview on Thursday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for the US to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and enforce an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to him as "the architect of a horrific genocide." The ICC, which has 124 member states but neither Israel nor the US among them, could prosecute crimes committed by nationals of its member states or on their territories. While some US officials criticized the ICC's warrant for Netanyahu as “shameful” and “troubling,” Mamdani had previously vowed during his mayoral campaign to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York City. However, in July, Mamdani reconsidered this stance after evaluating potential legal challenges to such an arrest.
