(CNN)-- New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a new video Tuesday that he does not have the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he come to New York City.

Adams said in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter): "My administration has reviewed all available avenues under current law to determine whether New York City can execute the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court should Benjamin Netanyahu come here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant. However, the federal government has that authority, and I call on it to join the ICC and enforce the warrant."

This video comes just days after Adams told the New York Times that he was working with his administration's legal team on how to execute Netanyahu's arrest on charges of "alleged war crimes."

US President Donald Trump commented on the controversy on his Truth Social platform Monday, saying Netanyahu "will not be arrested, under any circumstances or in any way."

The Israeli prime minister is likely to visit New York later this year for United Nations General Assembly meetings, and his office previously accused Adams of "distracting public opinion from his own foolishness and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East."

Responding to Adams' video Tuesday, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said on X: "You were elected to serve New Yorkers, not to serve Hamas propaganda. Do your job."

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders in 2024, accusing them of war crimes during and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023; allegations Israel has denied.

Adams, a vocal critic of the Israeli government who has repeatedly condemned Israeli military operations in Gaza as "genocide," discussed the possibility of arresting Netanyahu during his election campaign last year.

Meanwhile, CNN senior legal analyst Eli Honig criticized the idea of Adams being able to carry out the arrest Monday, saying he has no authority to enforce the law.

Honig said on CNN's The Source: "It is utterly ridiculous for the mayor of New York City to even suggest that he has the authority to issue an order to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu or any foreign head of state visiting the city."

Honig also noted that the United States has not ratified the Rome Statute, which obligates states to arrest individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants, adding that "diplomacy and foreign affairs fall entirely under the jurisdiction of the federal government."

Both Trump and former US President Joe Biden condemned the ICC warrant against Netanyahu.

Under Trump's second term, his administration has escalated its long-standing battle against the ICC; US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently vowed to "dismantle" the court, accusing it of "waging war against our country, not with bullets or missiles," but with "the power of so-called international law."
