The New York City mayor-elect made the visit on Monday evening, days after a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah event on Sydney's Bondi Beach that killed at least 15 people, including a Chabad rabbi, a 10-year-old girl, and Holocaust survivors.

Mamdani, who condemned the attack as antisemitic terror, drew praise from some in Jewish communities for the outreach gesture at the open-to-all gravesite, while critics questioned its sincerity given his past activism on Gaza and associations with controversial chants.

Key Takeaway

In a quiet moment of reflection, Zohran Mamdani stood prayerfully at the Ohel in Queens, wearing a kippah and leaving a note at the site revered by Chabad-Lubavitch.

U.S. Senior Advisor Massad Boulos met UAE leaders including Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan to coordinate with Quad partners—U.S., UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt—on a truce amid Sudan's civil war, which erupted in April 2023 and has killed around 150,000, displaced 12 million, and left 30 million facing hunger. Boulos urged both the Sudanese Armed Forces under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo to accept without preconditions, enabling safe aid delivery and steps toward peace. The RSF announced a unilateral pause on November 24, but Burhan rejected it as biased; UAE officials condemned his stance and denied arms allegations, insisting their flights carried only aid.

Key Takeaway

In Abu Dhabi, diplomats gathered with one clear goal: convince Sudan's warring factions to pause the fighting and let aid reach desperate families.
