The New York City mayor’s office launched the NYC-Israel Economic Council on Wednesday in an effort to encourage private investment between the city and the Jewish state.

Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, told JNS that the council “reflects the enduring partnership between our governments.”

“Israel is not only one of New York City’s closest international partners, but a key economic ally, with shared priorities in emerging sectors like artificial intelligence, technology and climate innovation,” Adams told JNS.

“That’s why while some chose to walk away from this important relationship, we’re leaning in—launching our first-of-its-kind New York City-Israel Economic Council to deepen ties, share insights and help Israeli startups establish a home here in New York City,” he said.
