Mamdani, el primer alcalde musulmán, ha condenado la guerra de Israel contra Gaza y los territorios palestinos ocupados, y ha denunciado esta como un "genocidio" contra la población palestina.

Mamdani has come under fire for refusing to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” and being reluctant to condemn Hasan Piker.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani will not attend the Israel Parade, the first NYC mayor to skip the event since 1964, sparking controversy and protests over antisemitism and policy.

Mamdani is believed to be the first sitting mayor in more than six decades to skip the event for political reasons.

Mayors in New York City, which has Americas largest Jewish population, have long been visible supporters of Israel, often visiting the country.
