New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement on the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks, expressing sorrow for the victims and condemning Hamas terrorists. However, his statement primarily focused on Israel, accusing the country of genocide and apartheid.
Mamdani acknowledged the pain felt by many New Yorkers regarding the date and recalled that over 1,100 Israelis were killed and 251 were taken hostage by Hamas militants three years prior. He offered condolences to those still grieving.
He stated that the suffering continued due to Israel's "destructive and ongoing campaign in Gaza," which he labeled genocide. According to Mamdani, this campaign has resulted in the deaths of over 74,000 Palestinians, including more than 21,000 children. He also claimed that over 1,400 Palestinians were killed even after a ceasefire was implemented.
Mamdani accused Israel of striking ambulances, residential buildings, and journalists, and of restricting humanitarian aid. He highlighted that many New Yorkers are distressed by these actions, which are funded by American taxpayers.
The Mayor urged against accepting the continuation of occupation and apartheid, impunity for alleged war crimes, and federal support for Israel. He concluded that the memory of the victims should inspire the creation of a world where everyone can live in freedom, security, and dignity. Previously, Mamdani had made demands to U.S. authorities concerning the International Criminal Court.
