Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN, Danny Danon, has sharply criticized New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. He claimed that Mamdani does not stand with democratic states fighting against terrorism.
Danny Danon stated that Zohran Mamdani had previously mourned the death of a sniper allegedly linked to Hamas, presenting him as an "innocent civilian journalist." According to the Israeli diplomat, Zohran Mamdani also continues to incite antisemitism in New York.
Danny Danon also criticized the comments Zohran Mamdani made regarding the potential arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He emphasized that this matter falls outside of Zohran Mamdani's jurisdiction.
"Mr. Zohran Mamdani has made his choice clear. He is not on the side of democratic countries fighting against terrorism," Danny Danon stated.
At the end of his remarks, addressing Zohran Mamdani, Danny Danon said, "You have chosen the opposite of democracy. You have chosen to collaborate with terror."
