WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that he believes that the U.S. should join the International Criminal Court and enforce the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that the US government should join the ICC,\u201d Mamdani said during an interview with podcast host Theo Von which aired on Thursday. \u201cIt should enforce its warrants for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year when Mamdani was running for mayor, he threatened to arrest Netanyahu if he ever came to New York City.<\/p>\n

However, this year he admitted that his administration does not have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

During the podcast interview with Von, Mamdani referred to Netanyahu as the \u201carchitect of a horrific genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netanyahu went to New York last month to address the United Nations General Assembly. While he was speaking, several leaders walked out.<\/a><\/p>\n

The ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu\u2019s arrest for alleged war crimes, including \u201cstarvation as a method of warfare\u201d and \u201cother inhumane acts\u201d against the Gazan population.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s office in response called the ICC a \u201ckangaroo court.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIts bogus arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu was issued by a disgraced former ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, a few days before allegations of sexual misconduct against him became public,\u201d the office\u2019s statement reads. \u201cIt was a clear attempt by Khan to divert public attention and seek protection from scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that he believes that the U.S. should join…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-363284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
