President Donald Trump assured Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not face arrest during his visit to the United States. This statement came after New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani suggested the possibility of arresting Netanyahu, based on an international court’s arrest warrant against him.
In December, Trump met with Netanyahu at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. The meeting was marked by a news conference where both leaders presented a united front. Trump’s latest comments are likely in response to the New York mayor’s exploration of legal actions against the Israeli leader. Mamdani’s consideration of using city police to detain Netanyahu has stirred political discussions, with Trump firmly opposing such actions.
The tensions follow Mamdani’s previous remarks about supporting the enforcement of an international court’s warrant. However, Trump’s assurance highlights his commitment to maintaining diplomatic relations and ensuring Netanyahu’s visit proceeds without incident.
