Rama Duwaji, wife to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, apologized for old social media posts that included racial slurs and celebrations of Palestinian terrorists in an interview published Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Duwaji, a Texas-born Syrian-American, expressed her regret for language she used in old social media messages during an interview with online publication Hyperallergic, her first public interview since her husband became mayor in January.<\/p>\n

“When a tabloid recently published old tweets I wrote as a teenager, I felt a lot of shame being confronted with language I used that is so harmful to others; being 15 doesn\u2019t excuse it,” she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

In March, the Washington Free Beacon published an expose<\/a> revealing a number of Duwaji’s old posts on X, formerly Twitter, and the blogging website Tumblr.<\/p>\n

NYC MAYOR MAMDANI’S WIFE LIKED POSTS CELEBRATING OCT 7 TERROR ATTACKS BUT GETS SOFT TREATMENT FROM THE PRESS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The posts included celebrations of U.S.-designated terrorist group<\/a>s and individuals who had committed acts of terror. In March 2015, when Duwaji was 17, an X account the Washington Free Beacon connected to Duwaji reposted a photo of Shadia Abu Ghazaleh with a caption that extolled her as a resistance fighter.<\/p>\n

Ghazaleh was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S. and globally-designated terrorist group. Revered as a martyr in Palestine, many pro-Palestinians laud her for participating in a bombing of an Israeli bus. Ghazaleh died in 1968 when a bomb she had planned to use on a building in Tel Aviv exploded in her home.<\/p>\n

Another Duwaji post the Free Beacon unearthed showed her allegedly using a racial slur.<\/p>\n

And another post appeared to show her using a derogatory word for gay people.<\/p>\n

According to the Beacon’s investigation, she allegedly reposted another user saying that the Israeli city Tel Aviv<\/a> “shouldn’t even exist in the first place.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve read and seen a lot of what others have had to say in response, and I understand the hurt I caused and am truly sorry,” Duwaji told Hyperallergic. “My focus isn\u2019t on being a public figure, but continuing my work with care and responsibility, and allowing my art to speak for itself.”<\/p>\n

The X account associated with Duwaji was deleted shortly after the Beacon published their investigation. Her Wednesday apology appears to be her first public acknowledgment of the posts.<\/p>\n

An artist by trade, Duwaji has been an outspoken critic of Israel during her husband’s political career. In February, just one month after Mamdani’s inauguration, Duwaji came under fire for<\/a> contributing an illustration to an essay about a Gaza refugee camp written by an author who celebrated the October 7 attacks by Hamas.<\/p>\n

Susan Abulhawa, the author of the essay attached to Duwaji’s illustration, called Hamas’ October 7<\/a> terrorist attack at a music festival<\/a> in Israel that killed more than 1,200 people “a spectacular moment that shocked the world.” She has also referred to<\/a> Israelis as “rootless, soulless ghouls” and “Jewish supremacist demons” in social media posts that are still active.<\/p>\n

Mamdani condemned the comments<\/a> and claimed Duwaji contributed the illustration through a third party service.<\/p>\n

“I think that that rhetoric\u00a0is patently unacceptable. I think\u00a0it’s\u00a0reprehensible,” he said in March. “And as is common for freelance illustrators, the First Lady was commissioned to illustrate an excerpt of a book by a third party. She has never engaged with or met with the author, nor had she seen the tweets that\u00a0you’re\u00a0referring to.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted a representative of Mayor Mamdani for comment but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
