New York City Councilman Zohran Mamdani told The New York Times that he is still interested in bringing about the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he arrives as expected in the city for the UN General Assembly in September. According to him, it is unclear whether he has the legal authority to order the New York Police Department, which he oversees, to detain a foreign leader like Netanyahu. He noted that he is in 'active discussions' with the city's legal department on the matter.
