Story summary

Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, called for the arrest of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a press conference on Thursday. This came ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to New York City next week for the UN General Assembly meeting. Danon accused Mamdani of inciting antisemitic rhetoric and collaborating with Israel’s enemies, specifically mentioning Mamdani’s attempt to meet with Iran’s U.N. ambassador earlier this year. The mayor had previously stated his intention to arrest Netanyahu upon his arrival in New York but later tried to backtrack on those comments. Danon emphasized that Mamdani has a responsibility to ensure a quiet and functioning week for the thousands of people attending the UN General Assembly, instead of inciting demonstrations against Israel’s prime minister.
