"Mamdani Effect": Israel ANGRY With Democrats, Ambassador Claims Party Shifted In Anti-Israel Push

Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, has launched a scathing attack on sections of the Democratic Party, accusing them of spreading what he called "fallacious" and "libelous" allegations against Israel over the war in Gaza. Leiter claimed that the so-called "Mamdani Effect" has driven parts of the Democratic Party further to the left, fueling criticism of Israel and increasing support for measures such as restricting U.S. arms sales. He argued that accusations of genocide and deliberate starvation are false and have damaged Israel's inte ational standing.
