Mamdani campaigned on an ambitious agenda, including universal child care, a free bus system and freezing rent prices for certain rental units in the city.

      Jessica Tisch:

      Jessica is the daughter of Meryl and James Tisch. The latter is CEO of the Loews Corporation, an American conglomerate whose holdings include CNA Financial and Loews Hotels.

      The influential Jewish-American family has been active in the NYC Police Foundation, which created and funds the NYPD’s liaison programme with foreign police forces, including Israel.

      As police commissioner, Jessica oversaw training that labelled keffiyehs and watermelons as antisemitic symbols. Both are expressions of Palestinian culture and have been used to non-violently protest against Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.

      In October, Jessica spoke at the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) annual conference, where she defended Israel’s assault on Gaza.
