flag A "Late Show" segment with NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was scrapped after he rejected a proposed game about the Israel-Hamas war, calling it inappropriate.

flag New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said a producer from Stephen Colbert’s "Late Show" proposed a "this-or-that" game to discuss the Israel-Hamas war before his June 23 appearance, which Mamdani called inappropriate given the conflict’s severity. flag He expressed disbelief at reducing the Gaza crisis to a game format, and his team pushed back, emphasizing his historic status as the first Muslim mayoral candidate. flag The segment was dropped. flag During the interview, Mamdani affirmed Israel’s right to exist but stressed its duty to follow international law, echoed concerns about antisemitism, and shared stories of Jewish individuals fearing for safety. flag He called for an end to the war, occupation, and apartheid, advocating for peace through diplomacy and accountability.
