纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼周二承认，纽约市政府缺乏独立的法律权限来执行国际刑事法院对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的逮捕令 23。曼达尼表示 2，"我们没有独立的法律权限来执行这一点"，并转而呼吁 24 联邦政府加入国际刑事法院并执行该逮捕令。
曼达尼此前在竞选期间承诺，如果内塔尼亚胡访问纽约参加联合国大会将逮捕他 2。但经过市政府行政部门审查后，他改口承认市政府缺乏此权限 2。曼达尼称内塔尼亚胡是战争犯 1，应当受国际刑事法院管辖。
国际刑事法院在 2024 年对内塔尼亚胡和前以色列国防部长约阿夫·加兰特发出逮捕令 24。指控包括使用"饥荒作为战争手段"限制人道主义援助，以及在加沙战役中故意针对平民 24。
美国总统特朗普随后在社交媒体上表示，内塔尼亚胡在美国 23 "不会以任何方式被逮捕"。美国和以色列都不是国际刑事法院成员 4。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥本月威胁要 4 "摧毁"这一法院。
以色列驻联合国大使丹尼·达农回应称 2，"你被选中为纽约人服务，而不是哈马斯的宣传"。
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged on Tuesday that the city has no independent legal authority to enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite having pledged during his campaign to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York for the United Nations General Assembly. 23
In a video statement, Mamdani declared: "It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant." 2 He subsequently called on the federal government to take action, stating: "The federal government however does and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant." 2 At a Wednesday press conference, Mamdani reiterated his position, urging: "I call on the federal government to join the International Criminal Court, enforce this warrant as well as any other warrants the ICC holds." 4
The ICC issued the arrest warrant against Netanyahu in 2024 on charges related to alleged war crimes in Gaza. 14 The charges include using "starvation as a method of warfare" to restrict humanitarian aid and deliberately targeting civilians. 24 The court also issued a warrant for former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on similar grounds. 24
Netanyahu is expected to visit New York in September to attend the UN General Assembly. 13
President Donald Trump responded to Mamdani's stance by asserting on social media that Netanyahu "will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America." 23 Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also threatened this month to "destroy" the International Criminal Court. 4
The United States and Israel are not signatories to the ICC and do not recognize the court's authority. 14 Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Mamdani's remarks, saying: "You were elected to serve New Yorkers, not Hamas' propaganda." 2
