US EditionFormer Mayor Adams Joins Jewish Group Criticizing Mamdani Over Deleted Antisemitism Posts
- Shortly after his swearing-in on 01/02/2026, Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayor, revoked all executive orders issued since Sept. 26, 2024, by former Mayor Eric Adams.
- Mamdani, long a pro-Palestinian activist, said the revocations mark `a fresh start` tied to New Yorkers' lack of confidence in Eric Adams and criticized the IHRA definition for limiting political speech.
- Among the specific rollbacks were the city's adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, the ban on Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and the probe into New York Police Department protest rules, while the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism remains in place.
- Local Jewish leaders reacted that Herzog condemned Mamdani, saying `Here, we see the rise of a new mayor-elect who makes no effort to conceal his contempt for the Jewish, democratic State of Israel, the only nation state of the Jewish people`, and many expressed dismay, while Donna Lieberman called revocations `good news.`
- The move raises questions about which antisemitism definition New York will adopt, an ambiguity affecting NYPD hate-crime probes and schools, while an ADL report finds 20% of Mamdani's appointees linked to anti-Zionist groups.
