US EditionMamdani Dodges on ‘Globalize the Intifada’ as Jeffries Demands He ‘Clarify His Position’ on Phrase
- Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor earlier this week after defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a ranked choice voting election.
- The nomination sparked controversy due to Mamdani's refusal to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' which House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called unacceptable and urged him to clarify.
- Mamdani stated he does not personally use the phrase and emphasized his commitment to universal human rights and fighting antisemitism, while opposing policing speech as mayor.
- Jewish leaders condemned the use of the phrase and rejected attempts to sanitize it with historical references, calling for unified efforts to address antisemitism and prevent Jewish exodus from the city.
- Mamdani's win and stances highlight tensions in New York's political landscape as officials prepare to meet with him to assess his approach to antisemitism and community safety.
