Eric Adams signs anti-BDS executive order in veiled swipe at Mayor-elect Mamdani 

Carl Campanile / NEW YORK POST  

Mayor Eric Adams announced an executive order Wednesday barring New York City from making business or pension investment decisions that discriminate against Israel — in a veiled swipe at his BDS-supporting successor Zohran Mamdani.

The order puts Mayor-elect Mamdani — who supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel — on the spot as he would have to decide whether to support or rescind the order.

“This administration recognizes the benefit of maintaining a strong relationship between the city of New York and the state of Israel,” Adams said of the executive order, which he discussed Wednesday night at an event sponsored by the North American Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism in New Orleans.

A second executive order announced by the outgoing mayor Wednesday would see the NYPD tighten enforcement to protect synagogues and other religious worshippers from harassment. Read more here.

Ilhan Omar’s close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered.

The Democratic rep held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners and one of her own staffers has also been convicted — both for stealing millions. 

Omar even introduced the bill, which led to $250 million in fraud. Yet she claims to have been completely unaware of it.

“[Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program.  

“She had been inside the [Safari] facility on numerous occasions and couldn’t put two and two together? Either she’s terminally naive, or knew and didn’t care,” claimed Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, to The Post. Read more here.
