Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of fueling anti-Jewish violence during a heated UN Security Council debate on the Middle East. Danon linked Mamdani's criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a stabbing incident in Manhattan, while police said no connection has been established. The exchange followed Mamdani's remarks describing Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and referencing an International Criminal Court warrant. The diplomatic clash unfolded amid discussions on Gaza, regional security, and humanitarian concerns, highlighting how the Israel-Iran conflict and Gaza war continue to shape political tensions far beyond the Middle East.
