Jewish NYFD Commissioner Resigns Hours After Mamdani’ Wins Mayoral Race
New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker has resigned just one day after Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor, sparking speculation about the timing of his departure. Mamdani has previously condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, drawing both national attention and controversy.
Tucker, a Jewish philanthropist and businessman, will step down Dec. 19, according to The New York Post. He plans to return to lead T&M Protection Resources, the private security firm he ran before joining Mayor Eric Adams' administration in August 2024.
Mamdani, 34, a New York assemblyman, has faced heavy criticism from Jewish advocacy groups and political action committees for his remarks on Israel's war in Gaza.
Mamdani called Israel's tactics a "genocide" and accused the country of creating an apartheid state in Gaza.
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, repeatedly attacked Mamdani over those remarks.
