olive branch

The newly relaxed legal and regulatory atmosphere isn’t an olive branch to the international crypto traders, however.

Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who has made past comments about defunding the police, had pressed Tisch to stay as commissioner, in part as an olive branch to Wall Street and real-estate executives.

That was seen as an olive branch to the business community and the police force, but Tisch hasn’t said if she will accept the offer.

Since the primary, however, Mamdani has extended an olive branch to business critics, while softening his more controversial positions, including apologizing for past statements that harshly criticized the police.

But it urged Turkey to take the necessary legal steps to advance the process, which began a year ago when Ankara offered an unexpected olive branch to its jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan.
