Daily Briefing Nov. 5: Day 761 - Avowedly anti-Zionist, NYC's new mayor Mamdani has Jews on edge

Democrat Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the new mayor of New York City, becoming the youngest to hold the office in over a century. Known for his outspoken anti-Israel stance, Mamdani's victory has sparked concern among the city's large Jewish community, with communal organizations expressing unease about his policies and intentions. Mamdani has previously advocated against investing city funds in Israel bonds and introduced legislation aimed at ending New York's financial support for Israeli settlement activities. The episode also touches on reactions to a recent cartoon posted by a United Nations official, which has been criticized for echoing antisemitic imagery.
