New York City Mayor Eric Adams left office with a series of executive orders supporting Israel. His successor, Mayor Mamdani, has revoked them.
One of the revoked orders was signed by Adams just last month. The move has drawn immediate criticism.
Former Mayor Adams and several conservative Jewish leaders have spoken out against the decision. They argue the orders were an important symbol of solidarity.
Mayor Mamdani's office has not yet detailed the reasoning behind the revocations. The action marks a sharp, early policy shift from the previous administration.
