From Fox News: New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani spent Sunday night raising money for a United Nations organization that employed Oct. 7 terrorists, just hours before the final living Israeli hostages were released from Hamas captivity.
Mamdani ran in the NYC Gaza 5K, a fundraiser for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The organization was infamously found to have employed terrorists in Gaza who participated in the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel. Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
“This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for UNRWA USA, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza,” Mamdani wrote on social media.
“I hope you’ll join me in donating,” he added.

Mamdani is being blasted on social media for the stunt.
The group, StopAntisemitism, declared, “You’re raising money for an organization whose members participated in 10/7.”

Columnist Irit Mizrahi Tratt wrote, “UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 massacre and kept hostages hidden in their homes. This is how you choose to spend your time on the eve of their release. I can’t say I’m surprised. What a disgrace.”

UNRWA employees actively took part in 10/7 – are you raising money so they can prepare for their next attack???

UNRWA participated in the October 7 massacre. They held hostages in their buildings. They allowed Hamas to steal, hoard and resell aid. Their schools teach young kids that all Jews are evil and to kill Jews.
UNRWA has done nothing positive for Palestinians or given them a hand up…— Janet Hecht 🇺🇸🎗️🇮🇱🏈 (@JanetHecht) October 13, 2025
UNWRA spent the last 20 years abetting hateful indoctrination of children and allowed tunnel construction and Hamas bases to embed in its facilities. MULTIPLE UNWRA staff members took part in 10/7 atrocities. UNWRA aid funded Hamas. And you’re raising for money for them. F You.

SICKENING: Just hours before the final hostages are set to return home after nearly two years in captivity, @ZohranKMamdani calls for donations to @UNRWA — the same organization where staff took part in the 10/7 attacks and kept hostages captive in their homes. pic.twitter.com/52MSwav6TH
