Jeremy Corbyn, ousted UK Labour leader, backs NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, sparking backlash over both men's controversial Israel-Gaza stances.

Former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, expelled over antisemitism allegations, has endorsed NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, participating in a phone bank fundraiser for him. The move draws scrutiny due to both men’s controversial stances on Israel and Gaza, with Mamdani facing accusations of antisemitism over his rhetoric and policies, including opposing the IHRA definition of antisemitism and vowing to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The endorsement highlights tensions within progressive politics and has drawn criticism from former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Jewish leaders concerned about rising antisemitism.
