New York City Mayor Zahran Mamdani says he is still studying the possibility of issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city next month.

CNN anchor Laura Coates explains that the mayor does not have this authority for several reasons. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in 2024, but the United States does not recognize its jurisdiction.
