Mamdani caught on camera getting chased out of Manhattan square; protester blasts him as ‘antisemite’

Mamdani caught on camera getting chased out of Manhattan square; protester blasts him as ‘antisemite’

A dramatic video shows Zohran Mamdani chased out of a New York City square after an angry protester accused him of antisemitism and demanded he disavow Hezbollah and Sharia law. In the video shared on X, the self-identified socialist Democrat NYC mayoral candidate is seen getting cornered in Manhattan’s Foley Square on Friday as protesters shout and beat drums. His security agents usher him through the square toward a waiting vehicle while a man trails close, yelling, “Denounce Hezbollah! Denounce Sharia law!” ISRAEL CALLS PROMINENT DEMOCRAT ‘MOUTHPIECE FOR HAMAS’ IN BLISTERING OCT. 7 POST Protesters can be heard calling Mamdani an “antisemite” and refuse to back down as he follows him. When Mamdani’s security intervenes, guards form a protective barrier to guide him into a car, which then leaves the square. One protester holding a flag is seen pushing up to what looks like another security team member near the vehicle. Mamdani had been speaking at Foley Square to show solidarity with New York Attorney General Letitia James, who this week was hit with a mortgage fraud indictment related to a Virginia property she owns. Mamdani has been repeatedly pushed to repudiate Hezbollah and denounce slogans such as “Globalize the Intifada.” JEWISH LEADER PREDICTS VIOLENT FUTURE FOR NYC RESIDENTS IF MAMDANI WINS IN NOVEMBER: ‘REAL CONCERN’ In a June 2025 appearance on “Meet the Press,” Mamdani declined to do so fully, saying that policing language is not the role of a public official, though he affirmed his opposition to incitement to violence and antisemitism. Mamdani reflected on the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks in Israel on Tuesday, issuing a statement in memory of Israeli victims and hostages still held by Hamas. “Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities,” Mamdani said. “A death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals and schools into rubble. NEW YORKERS SKEPTICAL AFTER ZOHRAN MAMDANI DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM PHRASE ‘GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA’ “Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered.” Mamdani’s statement was reposted by the Israeli Foreign Ministry (IFM) on X, where it accused him of “acting as a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda.” “By repeating Hamas’s lies, he excuses terror and normalizes antisemitism. He stands with Jews only when they are dead. Shameful,” the IFM post said. Mamdani’s press office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Biden undergoes radiation therapy for cancer, spokesperson says

Biden undergoes radiation therapy for cancer, spokesperson says

Former President Joe Biden is entering a new phase of treatment for the prostate cancer he was diagnosed with in May. Biden is undergoing radiation therapy, a spokesperson for the former president told Fox News Saturday. Previously, he had been receiving routine scans, the spokesperson added.  “As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” the spokesperson said. Biden was diagnosed four months ago with an “aggressive form” of metastatic prostate cancer after health officials detected a prostate nodule following increasing urinary symptoms. His office said the disease, though aggressive, is hormone-sensitive, meaning it may be effectively managed. JOE BIDEN DIAGNOSED WITH ‘AGGRESSIVE FORM’ OF PROSTATE CANCER WITH METASTASIS TO THE BONE Biden, who turns 83 next month, also underwent surgery Sept. 4 to remove cancerous skin cells through a procedure known as Mohs surgery, according to his spokesperson. BIDEN SPOTTED WITH GIANT BANDAGE ON HEAD AFTER HAVING SURGERY TO TREAT SKIN CANCER During his presidency, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest, the White House previously said. Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor noted in February 2023 that a biopsy of skin tissue taken during a health assessment revealed cancerous cells, all of which were successfully removed. ‘SMALL NODULE’ FOUND IN BIDEN’S PROSTATE DURING ROUTINE EXAM, SPOKESPERSON SAYS Biden, who became the oldest U.S. president to serve in office, had placed a major focus on cancer treatment. While in office, he and former first lady Jill Biden revamped the Cancer Moonshot initiative to accelerate progress in cancer research. The project aimed to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% over the next 25 years. In 1988, Biden had two life-threatening brain aneurysms at age 45. Doctors said he had a 50% chance of surviving while serving as a U.S. senator for Delaware. Biden’s surgeries were successful, and there have been no reports of an aneurysm since. The news of Biden’s radiation treatment comes as President Donald Trump was reported to be in “excellent overall health,” according to a memo released by the White House on Friday. Trump underwent a routine semiannual physical last week at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.  In the evaluation summary, the president’s physician, Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, stated that Trump “remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.”  Fox News Digital’s Stepheny Price and Peter Doocy contributed to this report.
