Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 07/10/2026
Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Trump on government workers: "They show me things like you're doing a little area over here of a government plant, and they'd have 10 people standing in a circle all doing the same thing. So we get rid of 9 of them and keep the best of them. And that's the way you do it."

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

Trump: "They rigged the election the second time…We won like a tremendous number of seats, and they said that doesn't happen, you can't win that many seats and then lose the president. It's impossible. They had some excuse for it…They say racist. They say, they make up things."

This approach does not align with U.S. interests or values. As the failed Iran war shows, Israel’s position puts region in greater peril and world’s economy/energy supply at mercy of Iran. If the war shows anything, it is that a purely military solution cannot obliterate Israel’s security threats
