NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 7: Mahmoud Khalil attends a vigil and protest for Palestine outside of Columbia University on October 7, 2025 in New York City. It has been two years since the Oct. 7 attack, in which Hamas-led fighters launched a multipronged assault on Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting about 250.
