On the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, Israel's Foreign Ministry condemned New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as a 'mouthpiece for Hamas' after his social media post marking the day. Mamdani acknowledged the Hamas atrocities but also accused Israel of launching a genocidal war in Gaza. The criticism highlights ongoing concerns about Mamdani's positions on Israel amid his Democratic nomination for mayor.
