Mamdani Under Fire After Hosting Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion During Ramadan
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing mounting criticism after hosting Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist accused of supporting Hamas, at Gracie Mansion during Ramadan.
Khalil attended the dinner with his wife and infant son, a gathering that has sparked questions about the message the mayor’s office is sending regarding national security and U.S. foreign policy.
Mamdani shared the dinner on Instagram, calling it a moment of reunion and solidarity.
“As we observed the one-year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to host Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen for Iftar,” he wrote.
A photo accompanying the post shows Khalil smiling while seated, with Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, nearby holding a plate of food.
