He added that he has <strong>no intention of cancelling<\/strong> his visit to New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netanyahu&#8217;s comments come amid renewed debate in the United States over the ICC warrant issued against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to recent reports, <strong>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/strong> has called for Netanyahu&#8217;s arrest if he enters the city, while media reports have said local officials have been seeking legal advice regarding the implications of the ICC warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent <strong>Economist\/YouGov<\/strong> survey asked Americans whether Netanyahu should be arrested upon arrival in New York under the ICC warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the poll:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>49%<\/strong> of U.S. adults said he <strong>should be arrested<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>27%<\/strong> opposed such a move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>23%<\/strong> said they were <strong>undecided<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netanyahu rejected the ICC warrant, describing the court as a <strong>corrupt institution<\/strong> and dismissing its actions against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also argued that the ICC&#8217;s legal actions could eventually be used against <strong>American officials and military personnel<\/strong> in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Israeli prime minister accused Mayor Mamdani of <strong>encouraging hostility toward Jewish people<\/strong>, alleging that the mayor was attempting to turn New Yorkers against the city&#8217;s Jewish community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing regional security issues, Netanyahu warned <strong>Iran<\/strong> that it would face <strong>overwhelming force<\/strong> if it launched an attack on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said Israel would welcome efforts to <strong>expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia<\/strong>, describing broader regional normalization as a positive objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICC warrant and the legal obligations of countries regarding its enforcement remain matters of international legal and diplomatic debate.
