New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing fierce backlash over his statement marking three years since the October 7 Hamas attack. While Mamdani acknowledged that Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 people, he then shifted his focus to Israel’s war in Gaza, accusing the Israeli government of an 'ongoing genocide' and condemning its military actions and restrictions on humanitarian aid. The remarks triggered sharp criticism from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who called the statement an 'outrageous & disgusting rant' and referred to Mamdani as a 'jihadist sympathizer.' #ZohranMamdani #Mamdani #October7 #Oct7 #Hamas #Israel #Gaza #IsraelGaza #MikeHuckabee #OfirAkunis #DannyDanon #NewYorkCity #NYC #IsraelNews #GazaWar ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
