The year 2025 was defined by escalating wars, military aggressions, anti-war protests, elections and various scandals, with the genocide in Gaza dominating the headlines.

In a meeting with US President Donald Trump, New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, raised the issue of US funding for the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.

Rabbi Moishe Indig, an anti-Zionist Jewish community leader in Brooklyn, New York, says he is confident Zohran Mamdani will be a strong ally for his community and all New Yorkers.

The Israeli aggressive escalation against Lebanon, the visit of Syrian president Ahmad al-Sharaa to the White House are among the topics the Hebrew media focused.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a 34-year-old born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, has become the Mayor of New York.

Zohran Mamdani’s win reflects youth frustration with the status quo and rising pro-Palestine sentiment, yet ultimately channels radical energy back into a system he won’t confront—given his walk-backs on Palestine and his reluctance to adopt a clear anti-war stance.
