Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) has said he still planned to visit New York despite incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to arrest him in compliance with the court warrant. “Yes, I’ll come to New York,” Netanyahu said in a virtual interview with the New York Times’ Dealbook forum on Wednesday. Asked if he would seek to speak to Mamdani, Netanyahu replied, “If he changes his mind and says that we have the right to exist, that’ll be a good opening for a conversation.”
