Israeli UN envoy accuses NYC mayor of sowing chaos ahead of Netanyahu’s UN appearance

Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon condemned New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for urging protests ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the UN General Assembly, saying the calls won’t deter Netanyahu. Danon claimed Mamdani is inciting chaos, noting Netanyahu will still speak and represent Israel. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, previously called Netanyahu a war criminal and said protesters are a bedrock of the city’s First Amendment rights; Mamdani’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital. Netanyahu has vowed to visit New York despite calls for his arrest and a protest-backed reception.
