Dear MEPIN Readers,

I wanted to share a short Instagram post with my thoughts on the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York’s next mayor — and what his victory means for Jewish Americans, national politics, and the future direction of New York City.

On ILTV, I spoke with Professor Kobi Michael of the INSS about the current situation in Gaza — why Israel must keep its focus on Hamas’ refusal to disarm, the psychological warfare Hamas is waging by slow-walking the return of hostage remains, the 200 terrorists still hiding in tunnels on the Israeli side of the Strip, and whether America has the patience to stay engaged as new regional and global threats emerge.

I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts and perspectives.

Best, Eric
