More than 1,100 people, including over 300 relatives of 9/11 victims, have signed a petition to bar New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero, citing his past statements and associations. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum said the ceremony is intentionally non-political, while Mamdani's office said he plans to attend.
A petition drive led by families of 9/11 victims is calling for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be barred from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, over 1,100 people, including more than 300 relatives of victims, have signed the petition, arguing that Mamdani's public record and past associations make his presence inappropriate. The petition emphasizes that the anniversary should remain focused on remembrance and unity.
In response to the petition, a spokesperson for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum stated that the ceremony is intentionally kept free of politics. Mamdani's office, however, said he still plans to attend. The controversy adds to a series of public disputes involving Mamdani, who has faced criticism for calling Prime Minister Netanyahu a war criminal and for attending a mosque where an imam reportedly called for killing infidels, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The 25th anniversary ceremony is scheduled for September 11.
