Prominent human rights lawyer and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani is calling for action against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent visit to the United States, specifically in New York City. Mamdani argues that while the NYPD cannot arrest Netanyahu due to diplomatic immunity, the federal government has the authority to take action against the Israeli leader for alleged war crimes committed during his tenure. The lawyer's comments come as Netanyahu's visit to the US has sparked controversy, with many critics accusing him of inciting violence against Palestinians. As tensions between Israel and the international community continue to escalate, Mamdani's statement raises questions about the limits of accountability for world leaders and the role of the US government in holding them to account.
