Mamdani Invokes International Law Against Israel
This City Journal opinion piece by Eugene Kontorovich criticizes New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for selectively invoking international law to target Israel. The article highlights Mamdani's statements about possibly arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu based on an ICC warrant, his condemnation of a real-estate fair for Israeli settlements as illegal under international law, and his denunciation of Israel's blockade of Gaza. The author argues that Mamdani misapplies international law, noting that blockades are legal under naval warfare rules and that real-estate fairs do not violate the Geneva Convention. The piece also contrasts Mamdani's stance with U.S. foreign policy, including the State Department's campaign against the ICC and the U.S. enforcement of a blockade of Iran.
