New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani began his term by voiding all of his predecessor’s executive orders signed after his September 2024 indictment, including several pro-Israel ones.

In his opening moves as mayor, Mamdani signed executive orders dealing with housing and one repealing all of former Mayor Eric Adams’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’s definition of antisemitism, which lumped criticism of Israel in with antisemitism more generally.
