When New York's mayor began quietly exploring whether an international arrest warrant could be enforced against Benjamin Netanyahu during a planned UN visit, President Trump moved swiftly to declare the Israeli prime minister untouchable on American soil. The episode is less a legal dispute than a clarifying moment in the long, unresolved tension between international accountability and the sovereign calculations of great powers. It reminds us that the reach of international law has always depended less on its written authority than on the willingness of the powerful to honor it.
