Event Summary

United States — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned pro-Hamas chants during a protest outside a synagogue in Queens. The protest, organized by the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation (PAL-Awda), saw demonstrators chanting support for Hamas, while counter-protesters reportedly shouted racial and homophobic slurs. Zohran Mamdani stated that such rhetoric has no place in United States — New York City and emphasized ensuring public safety while protecting the constitutional right to protest. Other leaders, including United States — New York (state) Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also denounced the chants, calling Hamas a terrorist organization and the actions antisemitic. The incident has reignited scrutiny of Zohran Mamdani's past comments regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict and comes amid heightened tensions across the United States.
