New York City’s outgoing Mayor Eric Adams called the devastating terror attack at Australia’s Bondi Beach an “actual application of the globalization of the intifada” as he and the city’s top cop rolled out plans to increase security for Hanukkah.

Adams, who is just over two weeks away from the end of his term, addressed the Bondi terror attack — where at least 15 people were gunned down — as he and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced boosted security for “Jewish life” events in the five boroughs, including swaths of Hanukkah celebrations.

While the mayor stumbled through his address, and mistakenly referred to Australia as “Austria” multiple times, he did decry the “globalize intifada” movement he said laid the groundwork for the terror attack.

“That attack in Sydney is exactly what it means to globalize intifada. We saw the actual application of the globalization of intifada in Sydney,” Adams said.

“This attack did not come out of nowhere. It came out as a consequence of Islamic extremists. We have to be clear on that,” he added.

Tisch, who is Jewish, decided “to be blunt” and plainly asserted that the attack was “part of a wider assault on Jewish life.”

“An environment in which hatred far exceeds rhetoric and erupts into horrifying acts of violence. Jewish communities are being forced to confront a threat that is persistent, adaptive and is evident yet again today. Global in scope. That’s why the NYPD is acutely focused on prevention. We calibrate our presence to meet the threat,” Tisch said.

Tisch assured that the NYPD had “an early start” preparing for public Menorah lightings scheduled even ahead of the terror attack, which took place on the eve of Hanukkah.

She said people should expect to see “an enhanced uniform presence, specialized patrol, heavy weapons teams, counterterrorism resources” at many celebrations and synagogues. She grimly noted that there would also be “bomb squad deployments where appropriate.”

“We ticked it up even further following the attacks in Australia,” Tisch explained.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani also condemned the attack as a “vile act of antisemitic terror” in a post on X early Sunday morning.

“Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too,” Mamdani wrote.

He encouraged all to “banish this horrific violence to the past” as he pledged to “keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.”
