Israeli UN Envoy Blasts NYC Mayor Mamdani over Call to Arrest Netanyahu
(Fox News) Emma Bussey - Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon on Wednesday blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a "clown" for demanding federal authorities arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when Netanyahu arrives in the city for the UN General Assembly in September. Danon's remarks came after Mamdani accused Netanyahu of being a "war criminal" and the "architect of a horrific genocide" against Palestinians. "Everyone knows it's a show. It's a stunt," Danon told Fox News. "A mayor should be dealing with the homeless people, the garbage in New York, and leave foreign affairs to the people in Washington who are elected to do it. He should take care of the security of the people in New York, especially the Jewish community, which is seeing the rise of antisemitism. That is his first responsibility." Danon pushed back sharply against the mayor's accusations. "There is a lot of humanitarian aid coming into Gaza every day. Nobody speaks about those issues anymore, but he wants to resume spreading blood libels, promoting the claims of genocide, starvation and all those lies."
