Mamdani is a “dangerous leader,” Israeli ambassador says
Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, called New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “dangerous leader,” claiming Mamdani condemned Israel’s elimination of Hamas operatives. “If you condemn the elimination of terrorists who took part in the atrocities of October 7th, you endorse Hamas,” Danon told CNN’s Jim Sciutto.

Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, harshly labeled New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a "dangerous leader" following the mayor's condemnation of Israel’s elimination of Hamas operatives. Danon argued that by defending those who carried out October 7th atrocities, Mamdani is effectively backing Hamas. This assertion mirrors remarks made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video where Netanyahu accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas and inciting riots against New York Jews.
Netanyahu vowed to present the "truth" about Mamdani at the UN, vowing to "tell the truth about you." In response to these accusations, Mamdani vehemently denied them. During a news conference, he stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself is under an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Mamdani went further, branding Netanyahu as "the architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians."
These statements come as Mamdani remains steadfast in his denials of the claims made by Netanyahu.
