Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is not worried about being arrested if he visits New York, responding to concerns raised by New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani. Netanyahu stated, “I’m going to come there with President Trump, and we’ll see.”
This remark comes amid Netanyahu’s ongoing diplomatic efforts in the United States, where he recently met with former President Donald Trump to discuss critical issues including the Gaza ceasefire and regional security.
Netanyahu’s visit to Washington marked his third meeting with Trump since January 2025, focusing on efforts to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza and to address tensions with Iran.
Netanyahu and Trump have been working closely on Middle East peace initiatives, including indirect negotiations with Hamas mediated by Qatar. Despite legal and political challenges faced by both leaders, they maintain a functional partnership aimed at resolving conflicts and promoting stability in the region.
The Israeli prime minister’s confident stance about traveling to New York reflects his determination to continue his international engagements despite potential legal threats.
