US President Donald Trump has fired back at Mahmood Mamdani, a renowned Ugandan academic and former UN official, after Mamdani threatened to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes if he visits the UK. Mamdani's statement follows a long-standing international debate over Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, with many accusing the country of committing war crimes against civilians. Trump's rejection of Mamdani's threat is unlikely to ease tensions in the region, where relations between the US and the international community have been strained over issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the US withdrawal from key international agreements. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to Mamdani's bold statement.
