Overview

• A caller left an expletive-laden voicemail on June 11 threatening to bomb Mamdani’s car and warning him to watch his house and family.
• The message used anti-Muslim slurs and evoked Israel’s pager attacks on Hezbollah, according to a recording obtained by the Daily News.
• It marked at least the fourth hate-filled threat to the Queens assemblyman’s office since March, triggering the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force investigation.
• There have been no arrests to date and Mamdani’s campaign has hired additional security in response to the escalating threats.
• Critics have seized on his refusal to denounce the slogan “globalize the intifada,” but he dismisses allegations of antisemitism as politically motivated.
