“The list goes on and on. All as we, as Americans, pay for the bombs that do the killing,” he added.

The statement followed a legal review by Mamdani's administration into whether New York City could detain Netanyahu if he travelled to the city.

“It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does. And I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant. And I want to be equally clear: Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war criminal at large,” he said.

The ICC issued the arrest warrant on November 21, 2024. It alleges that Netanyahu bears responsibility for the war crimes of using starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against civilians, as well as the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

Israel rejects the allegations and the court's jurisdiction, saying its military targets Hamas and other armed groups and accusing the ICC of political bias.

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, accused Mamdani of repeating "blood libels" and said his position would not prevent Netanyahu from travelling to New York.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz dismissed the proposed arrest as "pure political theatre."

US President Donald Trump also rejected the prospect of Netanyahu's arrest, saying the Israeli leader "will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America."

The United States is not a member of the ICC and does not recognise the court's jurisdiction over American and Israeli nationals.

New York City tops the list with an astounding $1,476,450 price tag for a prime parking spot. That’s nearly the cost of a luxury condo, and it reflects the city's intense real estate demand and chronic shortage of space.

Following closely behind is Hong Kong at $1,121,950, a city notorious for its dense population and limited land. Boston rounds out the top three with parking costs hitting $823,751, reinforcing how premium space has become in America ’s northeastern tech and finance hub.

These figures show that even in traditionally car-friendly cities like Dubai, urban densification and commercial development have pushed up parking values significantly.

In many global metros, parking spots are now being treated as investment-grade assets. As Spacer, the leading peer-to-peer parking marketplace, notes in their market insights, Parking in dense urban centres has evolved into an alternative asset class—especially in cities with limited transit coverage or rapid development.

The parking management market is projected to reach $12.91 billion by 2032 , while the parking garage design market is expected to hit $15.6 billion by 2027.

Spacer's data shows that private parking rentals have surged across cities like New York and San Francisco, where monthly parking rates can surpass mortgage payments. In New York, for example, monthly parking can cost over $1,000 , driving demand for long-term private rentals and shared arrangements.
