Mamdani also signed housing-related orders.The moves prompted swift backlash from Adams, Jewish organizations, and Israel&#8217;s foreign ministry, which called the actions inflammatory. Critics pointed to Mamdani&#8217;s removal of some antisemitism-related posts from the official mayoral X account; the National Jewish Advocacy Center demanded clarification and protections for Jewish New Yorkers. The Israel-antisemitism debate had been a major flash point in the 2025 mayoral campaign, but it did not prevent Mamdani&#8217;s decisive election win.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mamdani voids Adams&rsquo;s pro-Israel executive orders on Day One as mayor<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2453009\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>New York Mayor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> began his term by voiding all of his <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/eric-adams\/\">predecessor&rsquo;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tsa-can-now-fine-you-for-not-masking-up-following-biden-executive-order\/\" title=\"TSA Can Now Fine You For Not Masking Up Following Biden Executive Order\">executive orders signed<\/a> after his September 2024 indictment, including several pro-Israel ones.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening moves as mayor, Mamdani signed executive orders dealing with housing and one repealing all of former Mayor Eric Adams&rsquo;s executive orders signed after his indictment on corruption charges in September 2024. Among the executive orders revoked was one signed last month banning businesses from taking part in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement regarding Israel. Another, signed in June 2025, adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance&rsquo;s definition of antisemitism, which lumped criticism of Israel in with antisemitism more generally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4396100\/trump-says-he-aced-cognitive-test-amid-questions-health\/\">Trump says he &#8216;aced&#8217; cognitive test amid fresh questions about his health<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4396039\/iran-threaten-us-troops-trump-promises-intervention-protests\/\">Iranian officials threaten US troops after Trump promises intervention on behalf of protesters<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3925965\/where-people-got-entertainment-2025-streaming-netflix-hbo-disney-hulu-2025\/\">Where people got their entertainment in 2025<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >move quickly drove backlash<\/a> from Adams, Jewish groups, and even Israel itself, which condemned Mamdani&rsquo;s maneuver.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;On his very first day as <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NYCMayor\">@NYCMayor<\/a>, Mamdani shows his true face: He scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel,&rdquo; Israel&rsquo;s foreign ministry said in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IsraelMFA\/status\/2007009071782883602?s=20\">post<\/a> on X. &ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t leadership. It&rsquo;s antisemitic gasoline on an open fire.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The definition in question was formulated by the IHRA. The basic <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/holocaustremembrance.com\/resources\/working-definition-antisemitism\">definition<\/a> that was adopted is: &ldquo;Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and\/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, the definition also includes certain criticisms of Israel as antisemitism, giving six bullet points, such as characterizing the Jewish state as a racist endeavor, comparing its actions to the Nazis, and &ldquo;applying double standards&rdquo; as being antisemitic.<\/p>\n<p>Another action taken by Mamdani that invited criticism from the Jewish community was his scrubbing of some posts related to antisemitism on the official New York Mayor X account, which he took over from Adams shortly after midnight on Thursday. The posts outlined some of Adams&rsquo;s efforts to combat antisemitism.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"tl\" dir=\"ltr\">The two tweets Mayor Mamdani deleted <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/skBS2DBVG2\">https:\/\/t.co\/skBS2DBVG2<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZrHZryTOzH\">pic.twitter.com\/ZrHZryTOzH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Eitan Fischberger (@EFischberger) <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EFischberger\/status\/2006905322368335957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The National Jewish Advocacy Center sent a letter of protest to Mamdani over the two moves, demanding clarification and moves to protect Jewish New Yorkers.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Your first days in office will define your administration,&rdquo; the letter reads. &ldquo;This is not how that definition should begin.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/4393626\/mamdani-democratic-socialist-big-government\/\">MAMDANI VOWS TO GOVERN AS &lsquo;DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST&rsquo; AND EMBRACE BIG GOVERNMENT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In his own X post on the matter, Adams criticized Mamdani, saying he &ldquo;promised a New Era and unity today.
