New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani rejected criticism of his recent remarks, stating that his criticism was directed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not at Jews, according to a report by ynet. The statement comes amid ongoing controversy over Mamdani's comments regarding Israel and his opposition to defining Israel as a 'Jewish state.' As The Zioneer previously reported, Mamdani has a pattern of sharp criticism of Israel, including comparing criticism of Israel to accusations of anti-Semitism against Nelson Mandela. The candidate's latest remarks appear to be an attempt to clarify his position amid the backlash.
