Asked what would happen if he had to land in a country that honours the ICC warrant against him, Benjamin Netanyahu answered: "We have special forces around. I served with them for five years."
He was speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News after Tuesday's White House meeting. The question concerned a medical emergency forcing an unplanned landing — not New York, where Netanyahu says he will travel in September for the UN General Assembly regardless. The United States is not an ICC member.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called for his arrest, citing the 2024 warrant over alleged starvation as a method of warfare in Gaza. Netanyahu called him a hate-spewing official turning New Yorkers against the city's Jews.
Mamdani says he will protect the rights of all Jewish New Yorkers; one poll this month found him more popular among Jewish adults than Netanyahu. Legal experts, including Democratic congressman Jerry Nadler, say the city has no jurisdiction.
