December 12, 2025 / 5:31 PM EST / CBS New York New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he won't change his positions on Israel, despite threats of opposition from leaders of the city's Jewish community. Mamdani has steadfastly refused to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and no amount of cajoling by the head of the New York Board of Rabbis has changed his mind. He made it clear Friday during an interview for CBS News New York's "The Point with Marcia Kramer." Mamdani, who won the election with the support of many who believe Israel committed genocide in Gaza, publicly refused once again to change his stance on Israel, which has roiled the Jewish community. Sensible New Yorkers already were having anxiety attacks about their next mayor before a series of terrifying events in America and around the world underscored what an extraordinarily bad fit Zohran Mamdani is for...

So, too, does the decision by French officials to scrap the annual New Year’s festival along the Champs-Élysées because of security concerns over rampaging migrant gangs. Clearly, Mamdani is not to blame for any of these horrors. Still, his harsh views on Israel and the NYPD, along with his condemnation of White House efforts to deport criminal aliens, illuminate how ill-equipped he is for the enormous challenges he will face when... 1. WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: Fox News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot reports the latest on the deadly shooting at Bondi Beach.
Retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro weighs in on the investigation into the attack. New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani condemned the horrific Hanukkah attack that took place in Australia on Sunday as a "vile act of antisemitic terror," but has not said if he's changing his stance... Fox News reached out to the mayor-elect's team on Monday but did not receive a response at the time this report was posted. The mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach left at least 15 people dead and dozens wounded. Australian authorities have described the attack as an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community. Police said the suspected attackers were a father and his adult son.
The father was killed at the scene, while the son was shot by police and taken to a hospital in critical condition. Mamdani, who made history last month as the first Muslim elected mayor of the nation's most populous city and who has had strained relations with many in New York City's Jewish community, said he... Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team is riddled with antisemitic, anti-Zionist or anti-Israel activity from members, including one who said “resistance is justified” following the Hamas terror attack on Israel in 2023, the Anti-Defamation League... Representatives from the ADL, which has been monitoring Mamdani’s 400-member transition team since his victory on Nov. 4, said they found “many examples” of individuals who have engaged in this kind of offensive rhetoric or action outlined in the Dec. 22 report.
The ADL shared with amNewYork a social media post by Kazi Fouzia, who is on the mayor-elect’s worker justice committee, that reads “Resistance are [sic] justified when people are occupied,” less than a day... 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack on Israel. According to the report, which is the second ADL update on Mamdani’s progression into mayoral office, the post includes video footage from an anti-Israel protest happening in Manhattan a day after the attack. But Fouzia is not the only team member who raised a red flag for the ADL. Per the report, at least 12 transition appointees expressed support for anti-Israel campus protests that rocked the city in 2024.
