Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted that Israel's special forces remain equipped to intervene should any foreign government attempt to detain him pursuant to the International Criminal Court arrest warrant.

In an interview with Fox News during his current visit to the US, Netanyahu insisted he harbours no hesitation regarding travel to nations that endorse the 2024 ICC mandate.

The Prime Minister confirmed his intention to proceed with a visit to New York City, brushing aside demands from Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging US federal authorities to intervene against him.
