Mayor Adams has refused to discuss relations between Israel and Palestinians in the occupied territories, which have recently seen the worst violence in two decades.
Brad Lander, New York City's comptroller and its highest elected Jewish official, said he hoped Adams would seek out voices beyond Netanyahu's.
The mayor's team said Adams met with leaders of the protest movement, but that meeting was closed to the media and his office did not specify with whom he met. Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox and ultranationalist coalition has advanced West Bank settlement construction that is deemed illegal under international law. Adams met with Israel Ganz, a settler leader, who said the mayor showed “great interest” in Jewish settlement growth.Instead, Adams said his focus was strengthening ties with Israel and combatting antisemitism. Antisemitic attacks in New York increased by 39% from 2021 to 2022, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
New York City is home to the largest Jewish community outside Israel, and visiting the country is seen as a rite of passage for the city’s mayors. Every mayor has visited Israel since it became an independent state in 1948.
