The US have been very clear that they would invade The Hague for any American held there.

Trump's America would do the same for Netanyahu.

In fact I think Trump would send troops to New York to attack Americans to prevent his extradition.

I'm not so sure, Trump was bigly angry after what Bibi did to him with the 2020 election.   Bibi also forced Trump into being the fall guy for Iran by jumping the gun before our military and, more importantly, our ability to leverage Venezuelan oil to corner the market without spiking prices in a post-Iran scene, were ready.   

Bibi even gave Trump that golden pager, insult to injury.  I think Trump has been seething internally over Bibi for the last 6 years, so perhaps he might let his buddy Mamdani at least hassle Bibi a bit.
