New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York, due to an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes against Palestinians. Despite this, Netanyahu plans to visit regardless.

This raises questions about the applicability of international law and enforcement mechanisms in such cases.
