New York City Mayor Explores Arresting Netanyahu During UN Visit

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has stated that the city is investigating the potential for arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly in September. This discussion is underway with the city’s legal department, as reported by Deutsche Welle, citing Mehr News Agency.

Mayor Adams informed The New York Times that the city will undertake any action permitted by law. He emphasized, “We will not write our own law for this purpose.”

Adams confirmed that an “active discussion” is ongoing with the New York City Law Department regarding this matter. He further stressed that any actions taken would strictly adhere to existing legal frameworks.

The New York City Mayor expressed his belief that Netanyahu “should be in The Hague,” referencing the location of the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of the occupying Zionist regime on charges of “war crimes in Gaza.”
