New York City Mayor-elect Zorhan Mamdani has rejected criticism from the Anti-Defamation League, which announced a new initiative to monitor his administration due to concerns about antisemitism. Mamdani emphasized his commitment to fighting antisemitism and supporting Jewish New Yorkers, stating that his City Hall will work closely with Jewish leaders to both protect and celebrate the community. He questioned the objectivity of the Anti-Defamation League's leadership, referencing past inaccuracies in their statements about him. The Anti-Defamation League, citing a rise in antisemitic incidents, has introduced new tools to track Mamdani's policies and actions, including a public monitoring system and expanded reporting mechanisms for hate crimes.
