Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana led members of the Knesset from both the coalition and the opposition in New York’s annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday, May 31, 2026. The delegation marched while New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani boycotted the event. Mamdani’s decision came against the backdrop of a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents in New York.
The boycott prompted Ohana to lead the large delegation of MKs. The MKs participated in the parade, which took place on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
The photo of the event was credited to Marc Israel Sellem for the Jerusalem Post. Reporting was done by @keshet_neev.
