Mamdani has stated that if elected, he would order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit New York City, acting on an International Criminal Court (ICC) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-n-peacekeepers-killed-in-central-african-republic-before-election\/\" title=\"U.N. peacekeepers killed in Central African Republic before election\">arrest warrant<\/a> against Netanyahu. Cuomo criticized this position,calling it &#8220;not even legal&#8221; and &#8220;political theater,&#8221; noting that the ICC has no jurisdiction in New York and the U.S. does not recognize the court&#8217;s authority. Cuomo also accused Mamdani of being strongly pro-Gaza and of avoiding condemnation of certain controversial pro-Palestinian phrases, which has led to accusations of anti-Israel bias and antisemitism against Mamdani. Cuomo positions himself as strongly pro-Israel and has received endorsements from Jewish groups. With a month remaining before Election Day,Mamdani leads in the polls,with Cuomo trailing in second place and Republican curtis Sliwa trailing behind them. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cuomo knocks Mamdani for wanting to arrest Netanyahu: &lsquo;Not even legal&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2233667\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andrew-cuomo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrew Cuomo<\/a> on Monday criticized Democratic mayoral nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> for saying that, if elected mayor, he would arrest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> should the Israeli Prime Minister visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If he wins next month&rsquo;s election, Cuomo, the former governor of New York, said he would not enforce the International Criminal Court&rsquo;s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and noted whoever becomes mayor can&rsquo;t legally do so.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3839269\/andrew-cuomo-zohran-mamdani-victory-a-gift-for-trump-take-over-new-york\/\">Cuomo says Mamdani victory &#8216;a gift&#8217; for Trump to &#8216;take over New York&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3838524\/trump-winsome-earle-sears-cold-shoulder-virginia-governor-race\/\">Trump gives Earle-Sears the cold shoulder as he wades into Virginia races<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3839332\/california-redistricting-fight-raises-215-million\/\">California&#8217;s high-stakes redistricting fight raises $215 million<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not even legal.
