New York Governor Kathy Hochul clarified on Thursday that incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani does not have the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city. Her statement came after Mamdani reiterated his pledge to detain Netanyahu, citing an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant as justification. Mamdani, known for his vocal criticism of Israel, is set to assume office on January 1. His remarks have sparked concern among Jewish communities in New York, many of whom view his stance as extreme. Hochul, who supports Israel, emphasized that the mayor’s office has no jurisdiction over international or federal legal matters. Legal experts also noted that U.S. federal law prohibits local authorities from cooperating with the ICC and protects foreign leaders from detention. Despite the controversy, Netanyahu confirmed he will proceed with his planned visit to New York, where he traditionally attends the United Nations General Assembly each year.
