Elise Stefanik, the United States Representative to the United Nations, has been vocal in recent days on issues tied to antisemitism and federal fund misuse. On February 14, 2026, The Yeshiva World reported that Stefanik urged a review of alleged misuse of federal funds in New York City to organize an anti-Israel meeting. She also called on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior to launch a federal investigation into the administration of New York City Mayor Eric Adams over these concerns.
Just days earlier, on February 12, Stefanik condemned the eviction of Easy Aerial, an Israeli-linked drone manufacturer, from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Jerusalem Post detailed how the city-owned Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation chose not to renew the company's lease, a decision New York City Council Member Lincoln Restler announced on X, citing the firm's supply of drones to Israel. Restler described the space as a public asset that should not support weapons production.
Stefanik called the move deeply disturbing, antisemitic, and upsetting on X, stating we need more voices condemning this taxpayer-funded antisemitism from the New York City Mayor's office. Brooklyn Navy Yard spokesperson Claire Holmes countered to the New York Post that the decision stemmed from business reasons related to operational and campus compliance matters. State Assemblyman Kalman Yeger echoed Stefanik, labeling it foolish to chase jobs away due to anti-Jewish sentiment.
The group Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard celebrated the eviction as a win against imperialism and zionism after over a year of campaigning, hinting at targeting other suppliers next. Easy Aerial co-founder Ido Gur called the action upsetting, while the company prepares to relocate.
These developments highlight Stefanik's focus on combating perceived antisemitism in public institutions amid ongoing tensions over Israel-related policies.
