According to the Anti-Defamation League, at least 20% of Mamdani’s 400-plus transition team appointees were connected to groups or have a 'documented history of making anti-Israel statements.'

Only 20 percent of Jews stated in the new poll that they plan on voting for Mamdani, undercutting previous polling that indicated the firebrand progressive winning a plurality of New York City Jewish support.

The new council 'reflects a strong vote of confidence in the vitality of Israeli innovation and in New York’s position as a gateway to global markets,' Nir Barkat, the Israeli economy and industry minister, stated.
