The head of a drone-manufacturing company whose clients include the Israel Defense Forces said his business is being booted from the city-run Brooklyn Navy Yard because of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “pro-Palestine” agenda.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. — whose board members serve at the pleasure of the mayor and manage the 300-acre industrial park — announced last week it was not renewing the company’s lease, citing “business reasons.”

Shahar Abuhazira, CEO of Easy Aerial, told The Post Thursday he has since learned through “private conversations” with Navy Yard board members that Mamdani – who was sworn in as mayor Jan. 1 — is behind the ouster that ends the company’s seven-year relationship with NYC.

The employees need not worry about their jobs.  With the 5 pieces of ID Mamdami requires to shovel snow in NYC, they'll soon be gainfully employed again!

Anything that limits or reduces our ability to manufacture drones, or innovate in the instance of military drones is a bad thing. Of course, for Komerade Shariaman, that's a preferred outcome.
