During his visit to the United Nations in late September 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not arrested, despite claims and expectations surrounding the event. Instead, law enforcement in New York City arrested individuals who were actively protesting against him.
The demonstrations were driven by public anger and criticism directed at New York City Mayor Mamdani. Protesters specifically condemned the mayor for reversing a campaign pledge in which he had previously promised to arrest the Israeli prime minister upon entering the jurisdiction.
