New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended his wife, Rama Duwaji, after reports highlighted her past social media activity supporting pro-Palestine posts, including those using the phrase "from the river to the sea," which some interpret as a call for Palestinian liberation and others as a call for Israel's destruction. Duwaji, an illustrator, liked these posts before marrying Mamdani. He emphasized her status as a private person and reiterated his commitment to the safety of all New Yorkers amid scrutiny over his own stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
