Statement by Mayor Eric Adams on the Terrorist Attack in Israel

On October 7, 2023, New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a statement regarding the terrorist attack in Israel3. In his statement, Mayor Adams condemned the attack, calling it a “cowardly action by a terrorist organization seeking to undo peace and divide us into factions”. He also expressed his condolences for the Israeli lives lost in the attack. As a precaution, the NYPD is deploying resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship across the five boroughs.  Governor Kathy Hochul has also confirmed talks with Israel’s Acting Consul General in New York and said work is being done to ensure New Yorkers in Israel “get home safely”

Eric Adams: “New York City has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, and we stand side by side with Israel every day — but we do so with extra resolve today in light of Hamas’ unprovoked terrorist attacks directed at the country and its people. I was on the ground in Israel less than two months ago and personally saw those of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths living in peace side-by-side. Today’s attack, coming at the end of what is supposed to be a celebratory time at the end of the Jewish High Holy days, is nothing more than a cowardly action by a terrorist organization seeking to undo that peace and divide us into factions. That won’t happen.  

“We have resources on the ground in Israel gathering intelligence, and we are continually monitoring multiple channels to identify any potential threats, both here and abroad. I am also communicating directly with Police Commissioner Caban and Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism Weiner about the situation. While there is no credible threat to New York City at this time, our administration is in touch with Jewish leaders across the five boroughs, and we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to make sure everyone feels safe. 

“We extend our sincerest condolences for all the innocent lives lost in these attacks, and hope that not another family has to experience the pain of losing a loved one.”
