Zohran Mamdani Revokes Israel Directives

United States — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, on his first day in office, signed an executive order revoking several directives issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams. These annulled directives included policies that prohibited United States — New York City agencies from boycotting or divesting from Israel and broadly defined certain criticisms of Israel as antisemitic. The move, which does not affect the city's Office to Combat Antisemitism or emergency orders, was seen by the American Civil Liberties Union as a reversal of last-minute measures by Eric Adams to limit viewpoints.
