Protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue in New York City, chanting anti-Israel slogans and calling for an intifada during an event hosted by a nonprofit supporting Jewish immigration to Israel. The demonstration, which targeted a synagogue led by a Holocaust survivor, drew swift condemnation from New York leaders, including Governor Kathy Hochul and outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who labeled the protest as a blatant attack on the Jewish community. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whose past statements on Israel have been controversial, stated through a spokesperson that he discourages such language and supports the right of all New Yorkers to worship without intimidation. The incident comes amid a rise in antisemitic incidents in the city following recent conflict in the Middle East, intensifying concerns among Jewish leaders about safety and rhetoric from public officials.
