Mamdani admits he lacks power to arrest Israeli prime minister after saying he's not welcome' in New York City

Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, doubled down on his support for the international criminal court (ICC) on Wednesday and called on federal authorities to execute the court's warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest should he visit the city in the fall.

I call on the federal government to join the international criminal court and to execute both this warrant as well as any warrant the international criminal court holds," Mamdani told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday.
