❗️Mamdani booed and heckled at 7 October vigil held in solidarity with Israelis

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was booed and heckled during a vigil held in solidarity with Israeli settlers killed on 7 October, as pro-Palestine demonstrators interrupted the event with chants of, "Traitor, traitor, come on out! You sold all your people out!"

Protesters urged Mamdani to oppose New York real estate events marketing homes in illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank and criticized what they see as a shift from his earlier pro-Palestine stance after taking office.

Also present was former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who has faced criticism after the city's pension funds increased their holdings in Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, whose weapons and military equipment are used by Israel in Gaza.

Mamdani did not speak at the event.
