New York mayor issues order targeting Israel divestment weeks before Mamdani takes office
NegativeWorld Affairs
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued two executive orders aimed at combating antisemitism, specifically targeting the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel, just weeks before handing over the mayoralty to Zohran Mamdani, a known critic of Israel.
- These orders prohibit city officials from policies that discriminate against Israel or its citizens, reflecting Adams' concerns about rising antisemitism and the implications of Mamdani's election on Jewish communities in New York City.
- The political landscape in New York is shifting, as Mamdani's election signifies a break from traditional support for Israel among local politicians, raising questions about future policies and the potential for increased tensions between different community groups in the city.
