New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, described the terror incident at Australia’s Bondi Beach as a “real illustration of the globalization of the intifada.” With NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, he announced plans to beef up security for Jewish‑focused events across the five boroughs, including a series of Hanukkah celebrations. Adams, who is about two weeks from the end of his term, reflected on the massacre where at least fifteen people lost their lives.
