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.

Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu says New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” by calling the prime minister a war criminal who should be arrested if he visits the city.

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the International Criminal Court's war crimes charges against him as “bogus.”

Zohran Mamdani's anti-Israel rhetoric relies on historical fiction, exposing a dangerous fact-free political movement in New York.
