Zohran Mamdani Says Wife Is ‘Private Citizen’ After Posts About October 7 At*acks Resurface

Wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, liked multiple Instagram posts that cheered on Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel – sharing images of the border being breached and calling it “breaking the walls of apartheid” and “resistance.” Some posts used the “from the river to the sea” slogan and promoted protests against Israel and U.S. support. When reporters asked Mamdani about it, here’s how he answered: “My wife is the love of my life, and she’s also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall.” He stressed that he was elected to represent 8.5 million New Yorkers, and that any political questions should be directed at him, not at her.
