Good for him. fyi, alot of normal people do not know Bibi has a warrant from the ICC for warcrimes.
Edit: just for context, I would say this is a way to expand the permission structure since he doesn't have the power, but he does have the bully pulpit.
This moves the bar and normalize the thought that BiBi is a criminal/should be arrested. Now this puts pressure on BiBi (also why Israel spends 700+mil this year for PR).

One of the craziest things to me about the ICC verdict is what happened afterwards. The Trump administration sanctioned all the ICC judges. Which means they can’t enter the US anymore, and importantly they can’t do business with any US individual or company. That also means they can’t use like 90% of online services, can’t have credit cards, etc etc. The judges say they feel like they’re living in the 80s again. The level of corruption is mind boggling.

From the last few threads about this, the average Redditor doesn't seem to understand that the mayor of NYC is still "just" a mayor.

It's a side effect of the "(not so) new (anymore) reddit" interface.
For some reason when you post in URLs, it escapes certain characters with backslashes. Then, the app/website hide those backslashes from you.
The URI you actually posted was
RY_2gElt3SA(because of new reddit inserting\in a way completely hidden from you), which is a broken stub. The correct URI someone else posted isRY_2gElt3SA, which actually produces a valid link.In this way the new experience both creates the problem and then protects you from it. It seems to be one of the negative patterns designed to create friction for users who don't want to use the new (ad-ridden/algorithmic/enshittified) app or prefer old reddit.

For me, advocating for the working population and for social justice worldwide is the priority. That is why—much like left-wing politicians internationally—I criticize the actions of the Israeli leadership from a humanitarian perspective and one based on international law.
My concern is purely the political responsibility of those in power toward the people, not the rejection of a people or a religion. My criticism is directed at state power structures and is firmly grounded in human rights; I therefore unequivocally distance myself from any form of antisemitism and hatred.

International extraditions are defacto foreign policy. That's federal, no matter how bad Bibi is. Diplomats are guaranteed by a treaty* unencumbered access to and from the UN. And number of other solemn obligations that the US is committed to grants diplomatic immunity to diplomats coming from the United Nations. It's actually so ironclad that diplomats coming to the United Nations can rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars of parking tickets and nothing can happen. Anyone who actually tried to take Bibi and ship them off to Canada or the ICC would be looking at a felony conviction for kidnapping of an internationally protected person. Mamdani conspiracy charges and deprivation of rights under color of law.
None of this is to say that he shouldn't be sent to the ICC. He should. He's a fucking monster. But between all the different kinds of immunity and the fact that it's foreign policy and foreign policy is the sole purview of the federal government, there is no legal path for the mayor of New York City to extradite someone to The Hague.
- So it's not really a treaty because the United Nations isn't an actual nation. Treaties have to be between two nation states. But it was an agreement between the United Nations being the United States which was then passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president. It's called the United Nations headquarters agreement. And it actually establishes the United Nations as an extra-territorial enclave. It's also why the United Nations can use the East River, I think it's the East River, for cooling even though that's super illegal in NYC.
