Adams Prays at Western Wall on Israel Trip as His Term Winds Down

The visit doubles as a public show of solidarity against antisemitism.

Overview

  • During the Jerusalem stop, the outgoing mayor placed a handwritten note in the stones and signed the guest book with a message about faith and prayer.
  • He told worshippers, “I’m your brother,” explaining he wanted to return before leaving office.
  • Adams toured the newly excavated Western Wall tunnels, viewed archaeological findings, and visited the newly opened Gate of Heaven exhibit.
  • Earlier in the trip, he visited Israel’s IMI counterterrorism academy to study rapid-response tactics that he said could inform NYPD operations within U.S. law.
  • City-released details and local reports describe meetings with Israeli officials, business and tech leaders, and religious authorities as part of his official itinerary.
