New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji, reportedly liked a social media post that described allegations of sexual violence committed during the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel as a 'hoax.' The report states that the post characterized a newspaper investigation into the assaults as a 'mass rape' fabrication.

Additional posts Duwaji allegedly liked included content celebrating the attack that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, accusing Israel of genocide, and praising protesters who occupied a university building. One post also criticized former president Joe Biden, calling him 'Butcher Biden' and accusing him of genocide.

Mamdani said his wife is a private person who has held no formal role in his campaign or in city government. Social media activity by individuals in his circle has drawn repeated controversy since he launched his mayoral campaign in 2024.
