Donald Trump says Netanyahu "will not be arrested" in US amid ICC warrant

Former President Donald Trump posted on social media Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would face no arrest in the United States, addressing a standoff over an International Criminal Court warrant accusing Netanyahu of war crimes in Gaza. The comment follows New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s declaration that Netanyahu is unwelcome in the city and should be detained by federal authorities during his planned September visit for the United Nations General Assembly. Netanyahu, who dismissed the ICC charges as baseless, is in Washington this week to meet Trump and attend services for the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The dispute highlights growing political divisions over U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.
