New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will not attend the city’s annual parade celebrating Israel on Sunday, breaking with a decades-long tradition observed by New York mayors and other elected officials due to his support for Palestinian rights.
Mamdani confirmed the decision during a public safety briefing this week, saying he pledged during his mayoral campaign that he would not participate in the parade because of his views on the Israeli government.
