A New York County public defender will get to keep her job after apologizing for brazenly tearing down posters of hostages missing in the Israel-Hamas war, her employer said.

Attorney Victoria Ruiz had been captured in a viral video last week ripping down one of the many posters plastered across the Big Apple since the terrorist organization attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

In the clip, Ruiz ignores the person behind the camera who is repeatedly asking, “Why are you taking down pictures of missing children?”

Ruiz was identified as the person tearing down the posters in the video by nonprofit watchdog StopAntisemitism.

When contacted by The Post, the New York County Defender Services condemned Ruiz’s actions as “highly insensitive.”

“It has come to our attention that one of our attorneys, Victoria Ruiz, recently attended a public vigil solely in her capacity as a private citizen,” Lupe Todd-Medina, spokesperson for New York County Defender Services, said in a statement to The Post.

“Some of her actions at the event have drawn sharp criticism and we strongly condemn them as highly insensitive.”

But following an internal investigation into the incident, NYCDS accepted Ruiz’s apology and her promise to “do better.”

“Ms. Ruiz has apologized to those who were hurt or confused by her actions. After an internal review, and a pledge by all involved to do better, we accept this apology and now refocus on the vigorous pursuit of our mission: achieving justice and dignity for every individual we represent,” Todd-Medina said.

NY Defender Services has a $52.3 million contract with the city to provide services to indigent criminal defendants.

A member of the New York Board of Rabbis said that Ruiz should face stiffer sanctions and apologize to the families.

“I don’t understand why we allow people to get away with it so easily without holding them accountable. The punishment should be a lot greater than, ‘I’m sorry,'” Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, executive VP of the board, told The Post. “In the Jewish tradition, you have to show you’re sorry, not just say you’re sorry.”

Rabbi Potasnik then suggested: “We have the list of the families of all the hostages. She should start apologizing to the families.”

Bronx Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz said Ruiz only apologized because she was caught in the act.

“It’s disgusting,” said Dinowitz, a Democrat who represents a heavily Jewish neighborhood of Riverdale.

“She should be required to go to diversity training for anti-semitism. These are people we are entrusting with our tax dollars to represent indigent defendants. Clearly, there’s something wrong.”

Ruiz didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Countless individuals have been filmed in New York City tearing down or vandalizing posters of children and adults taken hostage in the Israel-Hamas war.

Among the offenders are an NYU student who lost their job offer over the scandal and a Brooklyn man who was arrested after getting into a caught-on-video scuffle while trying to callously rip down the hostage posters.
