New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement on the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, condemning the actions of Hamas terrorists as a "horrific war crime" while labeling Israel's response as "genocide." The statement, reported by ABC7 New York, acknowledged that Hamas terrorists killed over 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 people on October 7, 2023. Mamdani expressed solidarity with New Yorkers who lost loved ones.
However, the mayor asserted that the suffering did not begin or end on October 7, attributing it to an ongoing "genocide in Gaza." He stated, "Three years later, we must not accept a world where occupation and apartheid continue, war crimes go unpunished, and our federal government remains complicit with every new arms shipment." Mamdani further claimed that Israel's actions are funded partly by U.S. taxpayers and called for peace, enabling everyone to live in "freedom, safety, and dignity."
