Outrageous & harmful: Israeli Prez slams Mamdani over Jew remark

Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticised NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's remarks as "outrageous" and harmful to Jewish communities. He said Mamdani's comments "delegitimised Jewish people's ancient homeland and legitimise violence and undermine freedom of religion". He added, "Returning to Zion and connecting to Israel have been cornerstones of Jewish faith and tradition for thousands of years."
