Outgoing New York City Mayor Eric Adams has signed two executive orders to counter antisemitism and prevent city funds from supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel. The orders prohibit city business or pension investments that discriminate against Israel and call for increased police protection for synagogues and religious worshipers. This move intensifies the ideological clash with incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani, who supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and has pledged to bring the city into compliance with international law. The orders come amid heightened tensions in the city, following recent protests and concerns about the safety of Jewish New Yorkers.
