New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday reiterated a promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, signaling he will not heed growing pressure to rescind the pledge. 

Mamdani has cited the International Criminal Court’s active arrest warrant for Netanyahu as the basis for apprehending the Israeli leader in the event he sets foot in the city if the mayoral candidate wins the election.
