NYC Mayor Mamdani's wife liked social media post calling Oct 7 sexual violence investigation a 'hoax': report

The report adds to a series of controversial social media interactions by Duwaji that have surfaced in recent days.

Text over the images said, "Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation" and "Resisting apartheid since 1948," along with the slogan, "Systemic change for collective liberation."

As of Saturday, Duwaji's like on that post remained publicly visible.

One post Duwaji liked included the slogan "from the river to the sea," which Jewish Insider noted is "often understood as calling for the total elimination of Israel from the lands between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea." 

When asked about his wife's social media activity during a news conference on Friday, Mamdani described Duwaji as "a private person."

"My wife is the love of my life, and she's also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall," Mamdani said. "I, however, was elected to represent all 8.5 million people in the city, and I believe that it's my responsibility, because of that role, to answer any questions about my thoughts and my policies and my decisions."

Mamdani's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
