NYC Mayor Mamdani Defends Accusations Against Israel

NYC Mayor Mamdani Defends Accusations Against Israel

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has doubled down on his accusations that Israel is using the October 7th Hamas attack to justify "genocide" in Gaza. Responding to criticism, Mamdani stated the anniversary is a day of mourning for all sides. His initial statement described Hamas's actions as war crimes but focused heavily on accusing Israel of genocide, occupation, and apartheid, while also criticizing U.S. aid. Mamdani faced protests from anti-Israel demonstrators at a memorial event and subsequent criticism for dining at a restaurant whose menu omits Israel.

This is the first transfer since Syria's regime change disrupted funding routes, and Iran paid significantly higher fees to brokers due to the risks involved.
