    That said, hasn’t Mamdani promised to arrest Netanjahu if he wins the Mayoral race?

        No, bibi is rich and

        okay

        which means he will never get in any real trouble in the US

        The rich will sooner personally shoot Mamdani on 5th avenue than allow this to happen

        From a legal standpoint, the Rome statute only grants ICC jurisdiction in places that signed the statute, which New York does not have the power to do. The US constitution grants the president (with consent of senate) exclusive authority to enter into treaties.

        If he’s within physical jurisdiction and Mamdani directs the NYPD to honor the ICC arrest warrant… I don’t have the legal credentials to say whether or not that would fly
