President Donald Trump declared on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested in any way shape or form while visiting the United States. The statement arrived just as New York City Mayor comrade Zohran Mamdani announced that the International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Netanyahu should be honored.
In a Truth Social post Trump praised Netanyahu for fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran and made clear that Iranian leaders not the Israeli prime minister are the ones who belong behind bars.
The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented SPIRAL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION something that should have been dealt with years ago by previous Presidents Trump wrote.The post followed an exchange on Fox News in which Mamdani was asked whether Netanyahu should face arrest if he came to New York City.
Mamdani replied that Netanyahu is the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes. He described the allegations as facts of public record and stated that ICC warrants should be honored whether they involve Netanyahu Russian President Vladimir Putin or whomever else.
When pressed on whether his own administration would carry out such an arrest Mamdani declined to commit and said New York City would follow all applicable local laws.
The ICC issued its warrants for Netanyahu in November 2024 over claims tied to the fighting in Gaza. The United States has never been a member of the court--that is an important factor since they have zero jurisdiction over the U.S. Constitution.
Last week Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched efforts to push back against the international body. The State Department described the ICC as an intolerable threat to U.S. sovereignty that now seeks to become the unaccountable global arbiter positioning itself above and beyond the nation state as a supranational enforcement arm of a globalist bureaucracy empowered to persecute American servicemen and officials at will.
The department added that no diplomatic option will be off limits in the campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the ICC to Americans.
