Queens Assemblyman and New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D-NY) condemned Hamas while also accusing Israel of “war crimes” after The View’s Sara Haines confronted him on his past evasiveness and “inflammatory” comments. Mamdani joined the hosts of The View on Wednesday, days after New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) announced he is dropping out of the upcoming race, leaving Mamdani to battle it out with Republican Curtis Sliwa and former New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo (D). “You’ve made inflammatory statements like calling Israel an apartheid state and questioning its right to exist as a Jewish state. Mamdani condemned Hamas while also accusing Israel of answering the war crime of Oct. 7 with their own “war crimes,” citing thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza. ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Well, I really appreciate this question, an opportunity to just clear up I think a number of misconceptions.
