In one of his first acts in office on Thursday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked the city’s implementation of an antisemitism definition that includes some forms of Israel criticism, in a sweeping rejection of his predecessor’s executive orders.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not revoke the creation of the city’s office to combat antisemitism, which Eric Adams created in May.

Former Mayor Eric Adams and some conservative-leaning Jewish leaders criticized the revocation of his executive orders, one of which he signed just last month.
