flag Muslim leaders visited Israel to counter antisemitism fears tied to a mayoral candidate’s boycott pledge.

flag In October 2025, a delegation of eight Muslim leaders, led by Bronx imam Sheikh Musa Drammeh and backed by the interfaith group Sharaka, visited Israel to counter concerns over NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to boycott the country. flag The trip included visits to Jerusalem’s holy sites, meetings with Israeli Arabs and interfaith rabbis, tours of areas affected by the October 7 attacks, and a seminar at Yad Vashem, where participants discussed the Holocaust, extremism, and coexistence. flag Organized in response to fears that Mamdani’s stance could fuel antisemitism, the mission aimed to combat misinformation and build bridges through firsthand experience and dialogue. flag Supported by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the delegation emphasized education and truth to address rising social divisions, particularly ahead of the November 4 mayoral election.
