President Donald Trump stated on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not face arrest in the United States, responding to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's weekend suggestion that Netanyahu could be arrested as a war criminal. Trump's declaration came after Mamdani, a Democrat, publicly floated the idea of arresting the Israeli leader during a visit to the US. The statement underscores the Trump administration's strong support for Netanyahu and dismisses any legal action against him in American jurisdiction. The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and international legal debates over war crimes allegations.
