US EditionIsraeli minister slams New York mayor elect as 'Hamas supporter'
- On Nov 5, Israel's diaspora minister Amichai Chikli criticized Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of New York City, as a `Hamas supporter` and urged the city's Jews to consider moving to Israel, a comment reported from Jerusalem.
- Zohran Mamdani's positions on Israel and Palestine include calling Israel an `apartheid regime` and the Gaza war a `genocide`, while in recent months he denounces antisemitism and Islamophobia.
- Campaign pressure intensified as business elites and conservative media commentators attacked Zohran Mamdani, mayor‑elect, and Donald Trump, former US President, smeared him as a `Jew hater` on Tuesday.
- Local polarization grew as some in the Jewish community reacted angrily to Israel-related remarks, prompting public comment from Israeli officials and drawing international scrutiny to New York City politics.
- Mamdani will take office in January as New York City's first Muslim mayor, a historic transition accompanied by critics invoking the September 11, 2001 attacks, including Amichai Chikli.
