This includes 68 percent of Democrats and 55 percent of independents.<\/p>\n<p>This belief holds a double digit lead over those who say otherwise, with 27 percent saying that the U.S. shouldn\u2019t arrest him. An additional 23 percent say they aren\u2019t sure. <\/p>\n<p>The survey also found that a plurality of Americans say that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, with 43 percent saying as such and 24 percent denying the genocide. <\/p>\n<p>The polling comes as Netanyahu has traveled to the White House for his seventh visit with President Donald Trump in his second term, and their first in-person meeting since they launched the war on Iran. The meeting was closed to press coverage. Netanyahu is also slated to attend the funeral of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=1194\">DOJ\u2019s Environmental Enforcement Arm Has Been Captured by Industry, Critics Say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in late 2024. Discourse surrounding Netanyahu\u2019s warrant, issued for crimes against humanity committed in Israel\u2019s genocide of Gaza, has surged in recent days after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his office was exploring legal avenues to arrest Netanyahu if he enters the city for the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September.<\/p>\n<p>In a video posted on his social media channels last week, Mamdani said that his office determined that it does not have the authority to arrest Netanyahu. But the progressive politician called on the U.S. government to join the ICC and arrest the prime minsiter, labelling him a \u201cwar criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people, for the maiming of tens of thousands of children, as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia,\u201d Mamdani said. \u201cBenjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City.\u201d The video circulated widely, becoming one of Mamdani\u2019s most popular videos and garnering nearly 10 million likes on Instagram and nearly 1.5 million likes on X.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu called the video \u201chate speech\u201d in response on Sunday, and said that the ICC charges are \u201cbogus.\u201d Israel has been engaged in a yearslong campaign to attack the ICC, and the U.S. has also recently ramped up attacks with the goal of dismantling the body.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=1192\">This Activist Was Targeted by ICE for Criticizing Colombia\u2019s President-Elect<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a quarter of Americans say that the US should let him walk free, compared to nearly half who want him arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
