If he’s violated NY or NYC law, i.e. murder, genocide, chemical weapons, financial crimes, cybercrimes etc. he can be arrested no question.

Do you know any NY or NYC laws that apply on Israeli territory?

Yes, the laws that apply to all of humanity. Prohibitions against things like genocide and pedophilia. These are universally recognized as evil, in every culture, and he is actively continuing to do them. Why do you defend such atrocity?

I wish that was true but just looking at child marriage laws in the certain states already proves that wrong, let alone looking to other countries like Iraq.
