Israel has responded sharply to a call by former UN official Mohammed Mamdani urging New York City residents to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations. Mamdani, who has long criticized Israel’s policies in the Middle East, urged Americans to show solidarity with Palestinian rights by staging demonstrations in front of the UN headquarters. Israeli officials dismissed the appeal as an attempt to undermine the nation’s security and warned that such protests could inflame tensions. The exchange highlights the growing domestic pressure on U.S. policymakers to address the Israel‑Palestine conflict amid ongoing diplomatic friction.
