Hakeem Jeffries emphasizes the need for Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani to instill confidence among Jewish New Yorkers regarding their safety if elected. Jeffries has not endorsed Mamdani and plans to discuss Mamdani's stance on controversial phrases like "globalize the intifada." He highlights the importance of addressing the rising antisemitism in New York and indicates that Mamdani needs to clarify his position on such issues to gain broader support, especially from the Jewish community.
"Globalizing the intifada, by way of example, is not an acceptable phrase and he's going to have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."
"With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the City of New York, which has been an unacceptable development."
