New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that he will do his utmost to carry out the arrest warrants. He said: "I will do my utmost to respect these warrants." Adams also added: "If Netanyahu comes to New York and I don't do my utmost to prevent him, I won't consider myself the mayor of New York." Unlike Donald Trump, I operate within the bounds of the existing law, I don't invent my own laws. New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed in an interview with ABC News that he will order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to the city for next year's UN General Assembly, vowing to "work to find all possible legal avenues to carry out the international arrest warrants." Adams added: "I have repeatedly said that this is a city that abides by international law, which means we must respect international law, including the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It doesn't matter if it's against Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin, we have to show our values."
