New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a municipal strategy on Tuesday aimed at combating antisemitism in the United States, marking the first such initiative in the country. The strategy includes investments in hate-crime prevention, security coordination, and support for Jewish cultural institutions, following Mamdani's decision to revoke several executive orders issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams.
