New York Mayor’s First Actions Include Lifting Israeli Sanctions Ban.
According to the New York Post, some of the orders of former mayor Eric Adams will not be canceled, including the New York City Office of Anti-Semitism, which will continue to operate.
Mamdani also issued an order to revive the “Office of Tenant Protection” and, in addition, created two new working groups related to the use of public lands to develop housing projects more quickly and reduce administrative bureaucracy in New York City.
The new mayor of New York, who won the mayoral election by promising to deal with the cost-of-living crisis in one of the most expensive cities in America, was previously sworn in as the 112th mayor of New York City.
The 34-year-old immigrant Democratic socialist has begun his work as the first Muslim mayor of New York, the first mayor from South Asia, and the youngest mayor to hold this important position in more than a century.
“This is truly an honor and a privilege,” Mamdani said moments after being sworn in.
The former state assemblyman from Queens captured the world’s attention with his victory in the Democratic primary last summer, focusing his campaign on lowering the cost of living.
He promised to create a universal child care program, keep rents fixed for nearly two million renters, and make city buses fast and free.
