The results on the Israel-Palestine issue is particularly fascinating to me here.
Despite the way the issue has been covered in this campaign, I think it’s quite clear that voters view Mamdani as authentic and thoughtful in his approach to this issue.

No, you are misrepresenting that section. 60m goes to “procurement of the Iron Dome defense system” (Iron Dome technically only refers to the short-range defense system), $127m for the “Short Range Ballistic Missile DEFENSE (SRBMD) program,”… (1/2)
