US President Trump said in a social media post on the 20th that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “will never be arrested in any form” while in the US. Trump said that Netanyahu “is confronting Iran” and that “those who really should be arrested are those who dragged Iran into this unprecedented vicious cycle of death and destruction.” According to media reports, although Trump did not mention it in the post, his remarks were clearly in response to New York Mayor Mamdani's statement that Netanyahu might be arrested during the UN General Assembly this year. Mamdani said in an interview broadcast by the “New York Times” on the 18th that the New York City government is evaluating the relevant legal powers to determine whether Netanyahu can be arrested if he goes to New York in September this year to attend the United Nations General Assembly. He also said that Netanyahu is a “war criminal indicted by the International Criminal Court.”
