Harris Courts Mamdani and Pro-Palestinian Left in 2028 Push

Former U.S. vice president Kamala Harris privately called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week and has held closed-door meetings with progressive figures, including pro-Palestinian activists, as she tests a 2028 run. Reports describe contact with Mamdani after his allies' New York primary wins, plus meetings or talks with Uncommitted co-founder Abbas Alawieh and DNC member James Zogby. For Israel, the signal is strategic: bipartisan U.S. support remains vital, and Israeli leaders should answer false Gaza narratives while keeping channels open across the Democratic Party.
