New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani began his term by rescinding all executive orders issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams, in the 15 months following his indictment on federal corruption charges. Among the revoked orders were directives concerning procurement practices that discriminate against Israel and a broad definition of antisemitism. Mamdani, a critic of Israel's government, stated his actions aim for a fresh start and pledged to combat hate crimes and protect Jewish New Yorkers, while Adams had maintained his orders supported the Jewish community.
