"New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has repeatedly said he would order the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city for the United Nations General Assembly in September a move that would place the order in the hands of New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Under the mayor's authority, Tisch would be responsible for directing the New York Police Department to carry out such an arrest if it were ordered."
"Mamdani has said he would enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Netanyahu should the prime minister travel to New York, a pledge that legal experts say would be difficult to implement because the United States does not recognize the court's jurisdiction."
"A member of one of the country's wealthiest families, Tisch does not rely on the position for income. The Tisch family fortune built through the Loews hotel company and expanded into insurance, natural gas pipelines and a stake in the New York Giants football team has been estimated at about $10 billion."
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has repeatedly stated he would order the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit New York for the UN General Assembly in September. This directive would fall to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who would oversee the NYPD's execution of such an arrest. Mamdani claims he would enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Netanyahu. However, legal experts indicate this would be challenging to implement because the United States does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. Tisch, from the wealthy Tisch family with an estimated $10 billion fortune built through Loews hotels and other ventures, has dedicated her career to government service despite her wealth. She holds three Harvard degrees and joined the NYPD in 2008 as an intelligence analyst in counterterrorism, later advancing through various senior city positions before becoming police commissioner during a turbulent period for the department.
