  "summary": "Zohran Mamdani is the mayor of New York City. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, 44% of American Jews view him favorably, which is attributed to the work of a progressive Jewish infrastructure funded by Diaspora liberal Jews.\n\nMamdani's actions as mayor have been criticized by the Jerusalem Post, specifically his decision to revoke the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was seen as playing politics with the lives and safety of his Jewish constituents.\n\nThe Israeli media's focus on Mamdani is part of a larger trend, as Haaretz notes that Israel's critics are often cast as an existential enemy.",
