President Trump issued a sharp warning Tuesday, saying he would consider using executive authority to take control of New York City if Zohran Mamdani, whom he labeled a “communist,” were to win the mayoral race.
“If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places where we have to,” Trump told The Post during a Cabinet meeting.
Declaring his deep connection to the city, Trump said he was determined to restore order and leadership in New York.
“New York City will run properly. I’m going to bring New York back. I love New York,” the president added.
“We’re going to straighten out New York. It’s going to — maybe we’re going to have to straighten it out from Washington.”

Senior Israeli officials say most components of a hostage release and temporary ceasefire deal with Hamas are now agreed upon, though the broader question of ending the war in Gaza remains unresolved. “We are coordinated,” said Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who participated in the White House meeting. “We hoped Hamas would say yes to the Qatari proposal. They essentially said no. But the gaps are small enough to engage in talks.” A third round of indirect negotiations kicked off Tuesday morning in Doha. According to a senior Israeli official, between 80 and 90 percent of the deal’s terms have been finalized. Still, implementation could stretch beyond the coming days.

[Video below.] A disturbing video has emerged showing a former intern for Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani verbally harassing a Muslim NYPD officer during a pro-Palestinian rally.
The footage, taken at a demonstration on the City College campus, captures student activist Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik berating officers lined up near the protest. Malik, who once interned in Mamdani’s Assembly district office, can be heard shouting, “Let’s read the badges of the pigs,” as she begins calling out names that are common among Muslims.

Yasser Abu Shabab, head of the armed Abu Shabab group in Gaza, revealed in an interview that his forces have cooperated with the Israeli army in the past. He clarified that his fighters assist the IDF but emphasized it goes “no further” than that.

President Donald Trump and other Republicans have long criticized states that take weeks to count their ballots after Election Day. This year has seen a flurry of activity to address it. Part of Trump’s executive order on elections, signed in March but held up by lawsuits, takes aim at one of the main reasons for late vote counts: Many states allow mailed ballots to be counted even if they arrive after Election Day. The U.S. Supreme Court last month said it would consider whether a challenge in Illinois can proceed in a case that is among several Republican-backed lawsuits seeking to impose an Election Day deadline for mail ballots.

The IDF has ordered an immediate evacuation of residents in western Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, following rocket attacks launched from the area targeting Israel.

The Boro Park Jewish Community Council (BPJCC) is preparing to open a brand-new community center in the heart of Boro Park to meet the neighborhood’s growing demand for services. With its current headquarters at 1310 46th Street operating at full capacity, the new location—situated near the Metropolitan Commercial Bank on 13th Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets—will offer expanded space and programming for the community. “For decades, the BPJCC has been here for the klal—helping thousands navigate everything from SNAP and health insurance to immigration, legal assistance, and job placement,” said Avi Greenstein, CEO of BPJCC, telling YWN. “But we’ve completely outgrown our current space.
