An Israeli envoy to the United Nations calls for the arrest of Mayor Mamdani, describing him as having engaged in incitement and collaborating with an enemy of the United States. Speaking to reporters at the UN, Danny Danon makes the remarks days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit New York to address the UN General Assembly.
Danon’s comments are reported by multiple outlets and frame the request for arrest in terms of alleged security-related wrongdoing. The New York Post and Mint both cite Danon’s characterization of Mamdani’s actions as “incitement” and as “collaborating with the enemy of the United States.” Both accounts link the timing of the statements to Netanyahu’s upcoming UN appearance, though neither outlet provides additional detail on the basis for the arrest call or on Mamdani’s response.
