Can Zahran Mmadani detain Netanyahu in NY

New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani stated that he does not have the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, despite an arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court on charges of committing war crimes during the Gaza conflict. Mamdani lacks the necessary legal powers because the United States is not a member of the ICC, and the U.S. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prevents the extradition of individuals to the international court. Additionally, sitting heads of governments enjoy immunity while traveling. Although Mamdani requested the federal government to enforce the arrest warrant, legal experts clarify that Netanyahu cannot be legally detained in the United States under these circumstances.
