Hizzoner made the remarks on Dec. 1 to reporters on a conference call following a Mayors Summit Against Anti-Semitism he attended in Athens, Greece – the first stop on a four-day trip away from the five boroughs this week. The event was attended by 53 mayors from across 23 different countries, Adams said.
