https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/96a85e97-97f4-46f8-902b-14becde1233d With less than two months remaining of his term, outgoing New York mayor Eric Adams visited Israel on the weekend. In a video filmed after he performed prayers at the Western Wall, Adams speaks to people gathered around him, saying: “I served you as the mayor but I want to continue to have the title that’s more important to me than anything, I’m your brother”. Adams bowed to pressure to drop out of the mayoral race after being embroiled in a corruption scandal involving Turkish diplomats. He will be succeeded by Zohran Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, when he takes office on 1 January 2026. Support stories that matter.
