The mayoral hopeful also spoke out in support of "those Muslims in this city who do not have the luxury of being the Democratic nominee."

Encircled by faith leaders outside a Bronx mosque, Mamdani speaks in emotional terms about the 'indignities' long faced by the city’s Muslim population.

The United States is the outcome of a history of genocide, ethnic cleansing, official racism and concentration camps (known as Indian reservations),” Mamdani Snr. wrote.

"I just couldn't believe what was happening," Mamdani said of his June appearance. "That a genocide could be distilled into a late-night game."

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, said he would be willing to credit President Donald Trump with brokering a ceasefire in Gaza if the agreement is enforced and “delivers peace.

Mamdani called for the return of the hostages​ and mourned the loss of lives on the day of the attack, while also condemning the Israeli government's response.
