World marks third anniversary of October 7 Hamas attack on Israel
October 7, 2026 marked the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel in which over 1,100 Israelis were killed and 251 abducted. World leaders including officials from the EU, UK, France, Germany, and the UN shared condolences and condemned the attack. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement that briefly acknowledged the Hamas attack but primarily criticized Israel for 'ongoing genocide in Gaza,' sparking backlash from pro-Israel advocates. Reuters also faced criticism for posting footage of destroyed Gaza on the anniversary without mentioning the Hamas attack or its victims.
