New York Mayor Eric Adams will participate in the much-anticipated Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York City amid rising tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas war in the city.

A dedicated public servant, Mayor Eric Adams was elected as the 110th mayor of New York City in 2021. As mayor, he continues to champion the city’s diverse communities and is a vocal supporter of the Jewish community and Israel.

The conference, which will take place on June 3 in New York City, promises to be of paramount importance, especially given the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and the broader turmoil in the Middle East. This year’s gathering is expected to attract diplomats, politicians, and business leaders, with Mayor Adams being one of the most fascinating faces.

A steadfast supporter of Israel and the Jewish community, Mayor Adams’ participation is particularly significant in light of the ongoing conflict and the rising concerns about antisemitism in New York, which, despite showing a short dip in numbers in November, has begun to steadily rise again, with dozens of new cases reported by the NYPD over the course of March and April.

New York City has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, and Mayor Adams has consistently expressed his solidarity with the community.
