About a quarter of Americans say that the US should let him walk free, compared to nearly half who want him arrested. Nearly half of Americans think that the U.S. should carry out the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country, new polling finds, outnumbering those who say the U.S. shouldn’t arrest him by nearly two to one. Polling conducted by The Economist/YouGov ahead of Netanyahu’s visit to the White House on Tuesday finds that 49 percent of U.S. adults say that the U.S. should arrest Netanyahu. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in late 2024. 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.
