New York Mayor Revokes Jewish Protections, Sparks Outrage
•
New Yorks new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has sparked controversy by revoking executive orders protecting the citys Jewish community, including the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism and a ban on city boycotts of Israel. Israels consul general, Ofir Akunis, has condemned the move, warning it endangers Jewish New Yorkers amid rising antisemitism. Mamdanis decision to scrap the IHRA definition, which calls out denying Israels right to exist or comparing it to Nazis, has been criticized as antisemitic. With antisemitic threats on the rise in the city with the worlds largest Jewish population outside Israel, these changes have left protections weakened and communities bracing for what comes next.
