Jewish leaders tell Mamdani to temper Israel rhetoric after Upper West Side stabbings

Jewish community leaders urged Mayor Zohran Mamdani to temper his rhetoric about Israel following two stabbings on the Upper West Side, where a Jewish man and an Asian man were attacked. The suspect, Raul Morales, was arrested and charged with hate crimes, though no link to Mamdani's statements was confirmed by investigators. Leaders accused Mamdani of fueling hostility through his comments on Israel.
