Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon says the election of left-wing anti-Israel candidate Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City “will not deter us.”

“Mamdani’s inflammatory remarks will not deter us,” Danon writes on X. “The Jewish community in New York and across the United States deserves safety and respect. We will continue to strengthen our ties with Jewish community leaders to ensure their security and well-being.”
