Why Mamdani Is Under Fire Over Attacks on His Wife | Dawn News English

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under pressure again but this time, the controversy is not about a policy decision or a speech. It is about how he responded to attacks on his wife. What started with old illustration work by Rama Duwaji has now turned into a bigger debate in New York politics, about Palestine, Islamophobia, political pressure, and whether Mamdani is giving too much ground to bad-faith attacks. The issue began when several right-wing outlets in the US published reports about past illustration work by Rama Duwaji, who is a freelance illustrator and New York’s first lady. The reports focused on a piece she illustrated for a publication that included work by Palestinian author Susan Abulhawa. The piece itself was not written by Abulhawa. It was a short story by a displaced resident of Gaza, published in an online collection of writing from the war. Mamdani later said Duwaji had simply been commissioned by a third party and had never met or worked directly with Abulhawa. Abulhawa herself later confirmed that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
