Billionaire Bloomberg is a staunch supporter of Israel and has long donated to Jewish causes.
While Bloomberg marched in the parades during his 12 years in office, a source familiar with the parade’s planning this year said the former mayor wanted to show his support because successor Mamdani is snubbing the march.
Mamdani is a staunch critic of Israel and even supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against the Jewish state.
