The Israeli-American Council (IAC) issued the following statement after the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor:
“America’s largest and most Jewish city will soon be led by a mayor whose record and rhetoric have repeatedly crossed into antisemitic territory. The Israeli-American Council (IAC) will hold the Mamdani Administration accountable for ensuring that antisemitism in all its forms, including anti-Zionism, is given no sanction, and that the persecution of Jews is given no assistance. We will watch developments closely, measuring words by actions and promises by outcomes, and we will not hesitate to take legal action to enforce the right of our community members to live in safety and security.”
