Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, stated that he will travel to Israel on Friday for a four-day visit, during which he will meet with government officials, economic development leaders and technology workers.

The mayor also plans to “visit religious sites and discuss efforts to combat antisemitism here in New York City and across the world,” his office said.

Adams dropped out of the mayoral race in the city after running as an independent. Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist who has said that he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if the premier comes to the Big Apple, is the city’s mayor-elect.

The president asked Americans to pay higher gasoline prices for a little longer so that a “very evil country” cannot have nukes.
Forum HaGevura (“The Heroism Forum”) warned in the letter, a copy of which the group provided to JNS, that Hamas was exploiting the fact that Israel stopped taking the initiative in Gaza.
“I’m seeing what’s going on in New York,” Stav Cohen, founder of the Israeli nonprofit Frontline Advocates, told JNS. “I fear for my speakers’ lives.”
“If you’re going to do that kind of act in that area, at that time, you’re more than likely, if you’re going to kill somebody, to kill a Jew,” Michael Trager told the Daily Wire.
