The last two years, “the worst of humanity” and Israel’s “profession and apartheid” wanted to be terminated, he said.
Mamdani’s statement created a sharp rebuke from the Israeli Foreign Ministry in X, and accused him to “act as a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda” and “spreading Hamas’s false genocide campaign”.
“Repeating the lies of Hamas by repetition of terrorism and normalizing anti -Semitism. He stands only when they die with the Jews. Shameful,” he said.
