'Arrest Netanyahu': Israeli PM gets a New York welcome outside the UN

Thousands attended the "Arrest Netanyahu" protest in New York, condemning his presence at the UN despite the ICC's warrant for his arrest, on 26 September (Maysa Mustafa)

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a half-empty room at the UN General Assembly, thousands of protesters were gathered in Times Square to condemn his presence in New York City. 

Netanyahu was issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023. 

All members of the ICC, which includes the United States, are legally obliged to enforce the warrants, though Hungary, an Israeli ally, has officially begun the process of withdrawal from the ICC.
