NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani (D) again refuses to acknowledge Israel's existence as a Jewish state [View all]

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.

Mamdani is polling in second place ahead of this month’s Democratic party primary that will likely decide the winner of the November election in the mostly Democratic US city.

Mamdani, a state assembly member from Queens, is a longtime pro-Palestinian activist and is harshly critical of Israel. His views on Israel’s right to exist have come under scrutiny in recent weeks. He has previously identified as an anti-Zionist.

CNN reports that a Mamdani aide recently attempted to stop an interview when the candidate was pressed to clarify his view on Israel.
