Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, launched a sharp public attack on New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a Security Council debate Tuesday morning, according to journalist Tomer Almogor. Danon accused the UN and international bodies of adopting the Hamas narrative wholesale, portraying terrorists as journalists and UNRWA staff. The confrontation continues a thread The Zioneer reported earlier this morning: Danon had just presented to the Security Council three Gaza figures whose deaths were condemned internationally as journalist killings — revealing their actual identities as Hamas operatives and an UNRWA employee. Mamdani has been a recurring target of Israeli diplomatic criticism: on June 24, Consul General Ofir Akunis accused Mamdani of lying after the candidate claimed Israel killed a journalist; Akunis identified the individual as a Hamas operative. Danon's remarks today extended that line of attack to the Security Council floor. 'Hamas spreads lies and the world echoes terror propaganda and condemns Israel,' Danon said, 'and when the truth emerges — there is no apology.'
