US President Donald Trump has criticised Zohran Mamdani after the New York mayoral candidate suggested he could order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited the city.
Mamdani’s remarks referenced the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
Trump dismissed the suggestion, defending Netanyahu and escalating the political dispute over the ICC’s actions and US support for Israel.
