The night before Hamas terrorists released the final living Israeli hostages, far-left New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani decided to spend Sunday raising money for a United Nations organization connected to Oct. 7 terrorists.
Mamdani participated in the NYC Gaza 5K to raise money for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
In August 2024, UNRWA admitted that nine of its staff members may have been involved in the heinous Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Gateway Pundit further reported that hostages, including three women, were held for at least part of their 471 days in captivity within United Nations shelters.
BREAKING: Hostages were held in UNRWA compounds. Three Israeli women held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for 471 days reported they were held captive part of the time in UN shelters. How we do know it was UNRWA? Because UNRWA told us. They boasted about it: “UNRWA runs all UN shelters” https://t.co/w93NdwYXkX pic.twitter.com/3DMLtftITZ

Mamdani shared on X, “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.”

He then shared a link to donate to UNRWA.
The State Department issued a devastating report to Congress on UNRWA in August, determining that the agency needs to be abolished and is beyond reform. UNRWA’s stated goal is to provide aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but the report argues the organization “is irredeemably compromised.”
According to the State Department document, the Trump administration demanded in March 2025 that UNRWA “return all remaining unspent balances of U.S. funding in its accounts.” The UNRWA Washington office said it would do so, “but has not yet completed the action.” In May, the State Department said it is working “to cease U.S. participation in all working-level UNRWA bodies” at the United Nations.
The U.S. government pulled the plug on UNRWA funding in January 2024 and has not resumed aid to the agency. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s move calling for the wholesale dissolution of UNRWA added a new layer of pressure on the U.N. and key donor nations to UNRWA, such as Japan and Germany, to reassess the viability of UNRWA.
You’re raising money for an organization whose members participated in 10/7.
