flag NYC officials condemn mayor’s new group linking global conflicts to public health, citing rising antisemitism and misallocation of resources.

flag New York City officials have criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s creation of a “Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group,” citing concerns it politicizes public health by focusing on international conflicts, including labeling Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. flag The move coincides with a sharp rise in antisemitic hate crimes—up 183% in January 2026—prompting backlash over perceived normalization of anti-Israel rhetoric, weakened antisemitism protections, and appointments of officials with controversial past statements. flag Critics argue the administration’s policies and staffing choices undermine Jewish community safety and divert city resources from core public health duties.
