Clash of the Mayors: Mamdani to review Adams’ executive order barring Israel boycotts

Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani left open the possibility Thursday of reversing some of outgoing Mayor Eric Adams’ executive orders, including the most recent barring city agencies and pension funds from boycotting or divesting from Israel-linked entities.

Mayor Adams signed an order on Wednesday barring city agencies and pension funds from boycotting or divesting from entities tied to Israel. The move followed his recent trip to New Orleans for the Combatting Antisemitism Movement conference and came a month after he visited Israel.
