UN Ambassador Eviscerates Mamdani’s Jew-Hating Stunt: ‘Pure Political Theater’

First trying to set up a covert meeting with Iran, now this.

From our very capable U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz: Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:

1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t
3. head-of-state immunity applies and
4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes. This is pure political theater (Waltz).

Matt Margolis: So, contrary to Mamdani’s ego and rabid antisemitism, a big-city mayor doesn’t get to override federal law, international treaties, and diplomatic immunity because he dislikes a foreign leader’s foreign policy. Netanyahu is expected to visit New York in early September for the UN General Assembly, and Israeli officials are just as unimpressed with Mamdani’s posturing as their American counterparts. Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, turned the tables on Mamdani entirely. “If anyone should be arrested, it is New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” Danon said. Danon didn’t stop there, accusing Mamdani of abandoning his actual job to chase headlines at Israel’s expense…. Danon made clear none of Mamdani’s chest-thumping changes anything. “It will not change a thing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride and stand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens,” he said. (PJ Media).

Former New York Mayor Eric Adams: Threatening to arrest the democratically elected leader of one of America’s closest allies during U.N. General Assembly week isn’t bold. It’s reckless (Adams).
