New Actor: Trump Guarantees Netanyahu Safe Passage
On July 20, 2026, President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested during his upcoming visit to the United States.
Trump’s remark addresses questions raised by an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and whether it could be enforced on U.S. soil during Netanyahu’s trip.
The United States is not a member of the ICC and does not recognize its jurisdiction in the U.S., so federal and local authorities are not obligated to carry out ICC arrest warrants.
New York City’s mayor said he was considering options and consulting with state and federal officials about what, if anything, the city could do as Netanyahu’s visit approaches, Reuters reported.
Trump’s statement signals the federal government will not permit an arrest during the visit; the New York mayor said a further update would come after the legal review.
