New York's mayor, Zohran Mamdani, was facing pressure March 17 over his position on Irish unification as he helped lead the city's St. Patrick's Day parade.
Mamdani has been an outspoken supporter of self-determination, particularly for the Palestinian people, a position that has put him at odds with pro-Israeli New Yorkers.
On March 16, he declined to answer a question from an audience member about his position on Irish unity, saying, "I gotta be honest, I haven't thought enough on that question."
