Mamdani Calls Netanyahu a ‘War Criminal’, Demands Arrest Over ICC Warrant

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke to Rolling Stone for an interview published Tuesday about how, while he and President Donald Trump can agree on a shared love of New York, they are sharply divided about ICE.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani releases a video statement calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to face trial for war crimes, citing the ICC’s arrest warrant.

Mamdani’s promise to detain Netanyahu dates back to his 2025 mayoral campaign as part of his support for Palestinians amid Israel’s war with Hamas.

Netanyahu is expected to travel to New York in September for the United Nations general assembly.
