Mamdani announced Elana Leopold will lead his transition team, joined by former FTC Commissioner Lena Khan, former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, United Way CEO Grace Bonilla, and former Deputy Mayor Melanie Hartzog.

The ADL’s new “Mamdani Monitor" targets Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani over antisemitism concerns, but some Jewish groups say the move is unfair.

After the ADL announced its scrutiny of Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect told reporters, "I take the issue of antisemitism incredibly seriously."

The Pennsylvania governor, who is Jewish, previously criticized the New York mayor-elect for not condemning “blatantly antisemitic” rhetoric.

New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker will step down next month, becoming the first senior official to resign on the heels of Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win of the mayoralty Tuesday.

Zohran Mamdani, a vocal pro-Palestinian advocate, has been a critic of Israel’s war in Gaza. He described Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack as a “war crime” but asserted that the U.S. government is complicit in what he terms Israel’s “genocidal war” on Gaza.

After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

Mamdani was joined in the protest by other radicals, including Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and once acted as a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the terrorist who organized it. Mamdani recently came under fire for campaigning with Wahhaj.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has an International Criminal Court warrant out for his arrest on charges of war crimes in Gaza.
