Danon calls Adams a 'clown,' warns anti-Israel rhetoric is a dangerous game

United Nations Ambassador Danny Danon strongly condemned New York City Mayor Eric Adams' recent anti-Israel statements and his administration's inability to enforce international arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Danon, speaking on Fox Business, labeled Adams a "clown" whose claims about arresting Netanyahu are baseless and an attempt to distract from his own governance failures.

“

He cannot arrest anyone. He’s a clown. He knows that. It is baseless. He wants to get attention, and so he speaks about Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Danon warned that Adams' rhetoric is a "dangerous game," drawing a connection between the mayor's anti-Israel videos and a recent stabbing attack on two Jewish men on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Police identified the suspect as Raul Morales, who allegedly shouted religious and political slogans before and during the assault. Morales faces attempted murder and assault charges as a hate crime and remains in custody.

“

It’s a game, it’s a show. But it is a dangerous game. Because look what happened yesterday. A few hours after he spread another video against Israel. Against the Jewish communities. Jews were attacked on the Upper West Side.

The ambassador also addressed the effectiveness of the United Nations, agreeing with host Larry Kudlow that the organization may be doing more harm than good given the significant financial contributions from countries like Israel and the United States. Danon suggested that Israel and the U.S. must collaborate on reforming the UN.
