Fact check: Is there a new york times article about mamdani pledging to have NYPD arrest netanyahu

Checked on September 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided suggest that there is a New York Times article about Zohran Mamdani pledging to have the NYPD arrest Netanyahu if he visits the city [1]. Multiple sources confirm that Mamdani stated he would direct the New York Police Department to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the city, citing an International Criminal Court warrant on war crimes charges [2]. The analyses from various sources, including [1], [4], [5], [6], [2], [3], [7], [8], and [9], all support the claim that Mamdani made this statement, with some sources providing more in-depth analysis of the situation and the limitations of Mamdani's power as mayor [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point missing from the original statement is the context of the International Criminal Court warrant on war crimes charges against Netanyahu, which is mentioned in some of the analyses [2]. Additionally, the legal implications of Mamdani's pledge to arrest Netanyahu and the limitations of his power as mayor are not considered in the original statement, but are discussed in some of the analyses [3]. Alternative viewpoints on the topic, such as the potential consequences of Mamdani's actions or the reactions of other politicians, are also not presented in the original statement, but could provide a more nuanced understanding of the situation. It is worth noting that the date of publication for the articles is not provided [1] [4] [5] [6] [2] [3] [7] [8] [9], which could be relevant in assessing the timeliness and relevance of the information.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading in that it does not provide context about the International Criminal Court warrant or the limitations of Mamdani's power as mayor, which could lead readers to misunderstand the situation [3]. Additionally, the statement does not present alternative viewpoints on the topic, which could create a biased or one-sided perception of the issue. The sources cited in the analyses, such as [1], [4], and [5], all support the claim, but it is possible that other sources may present different information or perspectives, which could benefit from being considered [6] [2] [3] [7] [8] [9]. Mamdani and his supporters may benefit from the statement as it presents his pledge to arrest Netanyahu as a clear and unwavering commitment, while Netanyahu and his supporters may be negatively impacted by the statement as it presents him as a potential target for arrest [1].
