"I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities,"
"Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language"
"In its 2023 attack, Hamas killed nearly 1,200 people in Israel and took about 250 people hostage."
"After the attacks, Israel went to war with Hamas in Gaza a bloody conflict that has led to an estimated death toll of more than 67,000, according to Palestinian health authorities."
The two-year anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the ensuing Israel-Gaza war was marked in New York City with grief and protest. Negotiations in Egypt among Israel, Hamas, the United States, and Qatar aim to secure a hostage deal and ceasefire. In its 2023 attack, Hamas killed nearly 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages; roughly 20 hostages are believed to remain. Palestinian health authorities estimate over 67,000 deaths in Gaza since the war began. Zohran Mamdani mourned victims, prayed for hostage returns, and condemned what he called a genocidal Israeli campaign that has struck schools, hospitals, and homes.
