Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's arrest during a press conference on Thursday, accusing Mamdani of inciting antisemitism ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to New York next week for the UN General Assembly. This came after Mamdani expressed intentions in July to seek legal means to arrest Netanyahu during his September visit, based on alleged war crimes. Danon emphasized that the mayor should ensure a peaceful environment instead of inciting demonstrations against Netanyahu.

Story summary
On Thursday, Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, called for the arrest of Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to NYC next week. Danon accused Mamdani of inciting antisemitic rhetoric and collaborating with Israel's enemies against the U.S., despite not providing specific evidence. This came after Mamdani had expressed interest in finding a legal way to arrest Netanyahu during his September visit, likely due to ongoing criminal investigations against Netanyahu in Israel. Danon emphasized that Netanyahu would still address the UN General Assembly next Wednesday, disregarding threats and rhetoric from New York's mayor. The Israeli ambassador stressed the importance of maintaining calm and order during the week leading up to the assembly but criticized Mamdani for increasing traffic and demonstrating tensions instead.
