As mayor of the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, the significance of Iran's attack for Jewish New Yorkers — many of whom have family in Israel — is not lost on me, especially with Passover just days away.

New York City stands with Israel.

While there is no direct or imminent threat to New York City at this time, we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide out of abundance of caution.

Our administration has also begun outreach to both Jewish leaders and elected officials across the five boroughs to keep them apprised of the situation.

Our intelligence and counterterrorism teams will continue to closely monitor the situation.
