US Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "lies" about New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani do not alter the fact that Netanyahu is a war criminal, Middle East Eye reported. Van Hollen's statement responded to Netanyahu's claims regarding Mamdani, whose public statements have drawn scrutiny from Israeli officials.
The senator's remarks reflect widening divisions among American political figures over Israel's conduct and leadership during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
