Mamdani highlights US ‘complicity’ in Gaza war on Oct 7 anniversary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani commemorated the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attacks on Hamas in a post on social media platform X, drawing attention to the US's involvement in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Mamdani emphasized that the suffering endured since the attacks did not start or conclude that day, citing Israel's genocidal actions against Palestinians.

He underscored that more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, including over 21,000 children, since the attacks. Mamdani expressed that many New Yorkers are grappling with the unbearable grief and are mourning alongside those who lost loved ones. He criticized the US government's complicity in funding these war crimes by supporting arms shipments to Israel.

Mamdani called for an end to a world where occupation and apartheid persist, urging people to fight for a future where every individual can live with freedom, safety, and dignity. Despite a ceasefire established in October 2025, Israel has continued its daily attacks on Gaza, resulting in over 175,000 injuries and turning the territory into a desolate landscape.
