Satmar's Candidate for Mayor, Mamdani's Wife Mourns Death of Palestinian Influencer Saleh al-Jafarawi


 Rama Duwaji, wife of New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani, coddled in Satmar Sukka, expressed public grief over the death of Palestinian influencer Saleh al-Jafarawi, who was killed Sunday amid clashes between Hamas and rival factions in Gaza.


Duwaji shared an Instagram Story mourning the 27-year-old, known to Israeli media as “Mr. FAFO,” posting four broken-heart emojis alongside a tribute. Al-Jafarawi had gained notoriety for celebrating the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel while documenting the Gaza conflict, amassing a large following on social media.

His death has drawn mixed reactions. Many Israelis condemned him as a Hamas propagandist, while some pro-Palestinian activists, including Duwaji, marked his passing with sorrow.

Duwaji’s public mourning has reignited discussion about the influence of social media figures in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the political visibility of those connected to public officials.
