Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not attend the annual Israel Day Parade, which is taking place amid a deterioration of public support for the country and rising antisemitism across the United States.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the parade as “one of the most joyful days of the year.” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said security would be tighter than ever.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not filled the vacant role of president of the Economic Development Corporation, deepening concern over his attention to the New York City economy.
Soccer lovers frustrated by public transportation will have another option to return to Boston, Dallas, Miami and New York from hard-to-reach stadiums.
The mayor announced his support for Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist challenging Representative Adriano Espaillat in an Upper Manhattan House primary.
