Mamdani unveils long-awaited antisemitism strategy with $7.4M for prevention, security

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is putting his own stamp on a city office created by his predecessor to combat antisemitism, unveiling a strategy that increases prevention funding while formalizing a break with the Adams administration’s embrace of a single definition of antisemitism.

The strategy arrives after months in which Mamdani has sought to patch a strained relationship with parts of the city’s Jewish community without retreating from his longstanding views on Israel and Palestine.
