Two weeks ago the mayor&#8217;s office released a video commemorating the Nakba, an Arabic word for \u201ccatastrophe\u201d that is used to describe the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that followed the Israeli regime\u2019s establishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said on the campaign trail that I wouldn\u2019t be attending the parade, and I\u2019ve made my views on the Israeli government abundantly clear,\u201d Mamdani said at a news conference Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>But he also promised a robust police presence to make sure it went off \u201cseamlessly and peacefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I will not be attending, our administration has been preparing for weeks to ensure the parade is safe for all those who take part,&#8221; he said, AP reported.<\/p>\n<p>Support for Israel among Americans has deeply eroded in recent years, a trend that accelerated amid the outcry over Israeli genocidal war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani, the city\u2019s first Muslim mayor, has remained steadfast in his pro-Palestinian advocacy.&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211; New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is skipping Sunday\u2019s pro-Israel parade over support for Palestinian&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[86375,262,9536,23995,6211,60,1445,1092,93,9,56,63,65,64,21882,40042,1365,48387,48905,97448,97449,8299,57577,1068,1446],"class_list":["post-249446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-boycotts","tag-city","tag-for","tag-is","tag-islam","tag-israel","tag-mamdani","tag-mayor","tag-new","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-over","tag-palestinian","tag-parade","tag-pro","tag-rights","tag-skipping","tag-sundays","tag-support","tag-times","tag-york","tag-zohran"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
