"I will be doing, as the mayor, I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs."
"I believe Israel has the right to exist... As a state with equal rights, insisted Mamdani."
Zohran Mamdani, a progressive mayoral candidate in NYC, faced heated debate questions about his views on Israel amid criticisms linked to his Democratic Socialists of America membership. Opponents, including pro-Israel businessman Whitney Tilson, targeted him with accusations of radical policies. While other candidates emphasized visits to Israel and support for its status as a Jewish state, Mamdani focused on community engagement and acknowledged Israel’s existence while advocating for equal rights. His responses highlighted the increasing complexity of discussing international issues in local political races.
