Caribbean-American elected officials in New York on Monday commemorated the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, saying that it has been a “difficult” year since the tragedy.
“It has been a difficult year since Oct. 7, 2023, where we watched in horror as 1,200 innocent people, including 46 Americans, were brutally killed by Hamas terrorists,” Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, told Caribbean Life. “We must all condemn the heinous acts of brutality they perpetrated on the people of Kfar Aza, the Nova Music Festival, and the oppressive hold that Hamas has over the people of Gaza – the victims of this war. The indifference to killing must end.
