Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested — in any way, shape, or form — while he is in the United States of America,” President Donald Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump’s post came after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earlier said he was consulting with city authorities about the possibility of arresting Netanyahu if he visits the city for the UN General Assembly in September.

“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested — in any way, shape, or form — while he is on the territory of the United States of America. He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protesters and has been killing American soldiers and other people for the past 47 years. The only people who should be arrested are those who plunged Iran into this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction. Previous presidents should have dealt with this years ago,” Trump said.
