Israeli envoy Danny Danon calls for Mamdani’s arrest ahead of Netanyahu’s New York visit
Speaking to reporters at the UN on Thursday, Danon accused Mamdani of incitement and of collaborating with an enemy of the United States. His remarks came days before Netanyahu is expected to address the UN General Assembly.
Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon has urged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to face arrest ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Danon accused Mamdani of incitement and collaboration with an enemy of the United States, citing Mamdani's efforts to arrange a meeting with Iran’s UN ambassador.
Danon urged Mamdani to focus on maintaining security and ensuring the city's smooth functioning during the visit, as opposed to inciting demonstrations against Netanyahu. Mamdani, however, stated he has no plans to attend protests against Netanyahu during the UN General Assembly and affirmed his commitment to public safety and the city's ability to accommodate the influx of world leaders and visitors.
