New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani began his term by rescinding all executive orders issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams, over the past 15 months. This action included revoking orders that barred city officials from engaging in procurement discriminating against Israel and prohibited divesting from Israel-related holdings. Mamdani stated the move ensures a fresh start, while critics, including Israel's Foreign Ministry, accused him of antisemitism. Mamdani pledged to fund measures to prevent hate crimes and protect Jewish New Yorkers.
