Trump Says Netanyahu Will Not Be Arrested During U.S. Visit on July 20

According to Jin10 data, U.S. President Trump said on July 20 that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would not be arrested during his visit to America, responding to New York City Mayor Mamdani's recent statement about potentially taking legal action against Netanyahu if he attends the UN General Assembly in September.

The International Criminal Court previously issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity charges. Trump stated the U.S. would not enforce any arrest, adding that those responsible for bringing Iran into "a spiral of death and destruction" should be held accountable. Netanyahu rejected the city mayor's criticism, calling him anti-American. Legal analysts noted that as a non-ICC member state, the U.S. typically grants foreign leaders diplomatic immunity during official visits, making Netanyahu's arrest unlikely.
