Less than a month after visiting Israel, outgoing Mayor Eric Adams signed two executive orders on Wednesday in support of the Middle Eastern country and Jewish New Yorkers.
The executive orders come less than a month before Zohran Mamdani takes the mayor’s office on Jan. 1. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, has been critical of Israel and has, in the past, supported the Boycott Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement against the Jewish state. Those positions and his pro-Palestinian rhetoric led to a number of New Yorkers accusing him of being antisemitic.
