.Mike Bloomberg has been supporting the mayors of Israel for years - through civic innovation teams and the impactful @hazirail program. Ahead of tonights’s announcement of new efforts, we caught up with Jerusalem’s Mayor, משה ליאון.

As Mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, I take the work of protecting this community and every community seriously. There are no specific, credible threats to our city at this time. We will always stand with this community and #StandWithIsrael.
