New York City Mayor Eric Adams delivered remarks today at the Arutz Sheva–Israel National News Jerusalem Conference, held in Manhattan.
“Marching today in honor of Israel’s 77th year was deeply moving,” Adams said. “This event shows Israel’s resiliency, patience, and ability to make the right calls. A lot of people do not know what it takes to stabilize after a crisis. Israel’s resiliency is unmatched.”
He spoke about how New York has drawn strength and tools from Israel, adopting aspects of its mindset and security approach. “The technology they use to go after Hamas, we use to fight dangerous gangs here. We do not run from hate, we do not fear, and we do not give in.”

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has authorized the immediate renewal of humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza, following a security cabinet session held earlier this evening.
A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office explained the move, noting that it was “at the recommendation of the IDF and due to the operational need to enable the expansion of intense fighting to defeat Hamas.”
Netanyahu emphasized that the aid would be limited to basic food supplies aimed at avoiding a hunger emergency in Gaza, warning that such a crisis “would endanger the continued operation to defeat Hamas.” He added, “Israel will act to deny Hamas the ability to seize control of the distribution of humanitarian aid in order to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas terrorists.”
