Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order in his first day as mayor on Thursday revoking all orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after his indictment on federal corruption charges, including two that he had touted as support for Israel.
One of the revoked orders, signed last month by Mr. Adams, barred city agencies from boycotting or divesting from Israel. Another that the former mayor signed last June adopted an expansive definition of antisemitism that equates some forms of anti-Israel criticism, like opposition to Israel’s ethnically Jewish character, with antisemitism.
Mr. Mamdani did not revoke the creation of the city’s office to combat antisemitism, which Mr. Adams created in May.
A sure sign of a city’s decline is the election of a Khan, Chow or Mamdani.
