Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Fox News Digital that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rhetoric was antisemitic, hateful and potentially dangerous for Jewish New Yorkers. The interview also addressed Israel’s relationship with the United States, the threat posed by Iran and developments involving Hamas, according to the article.

Herzog said Mamdani did not recognise Israel’s right to self-determination or the Jewish people’s right to a national homeland. The interview took place shortly before President Donald Trump announced that Hamas had agreed to a proposed roadmap including disarmament, though the supplied text does not give further details of the plan or Herzog’s comments on Trump and Iran.
