NYC Explorers Question Authority to Arrest Netanyahu During Upcoming UN General Assembly Visit

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration is exploring whether the city has the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits for the UN General Assembly. The move comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Palestine. Under current laws in New York, citizens of Israel are not subject to arrest without a warrant. If the city decides it can make an exception, it would be a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
