A new restaurant named 'October 7' has opened in the Southern Jordanian Governorate of Karak, Jordan, sparking controversy and outrage due to its apparent celebration of a Hamas-led massacre that occurred on that date, involving senior Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. The establishment, which serves shawarma, has been met with criticism for its name, which is seen as a glorification of the violent event. The restaurant's opening comes amidst reports of widespread support for the attacks within Jordan, with a poll by the Doha Institute indicating that 84% of Jordanians support the 10/7 attacks. Additionally, the restaurant has been promoting a free falafel offer for families if a member martyrs themselves by January 31st. The issue has been compounded by a recent decision by Jordan to recall its ambassador to Israel following conflict in Gaza, and historical tensions between the two nations despite a peace treaty signed in 1994. The name choice has been condemned as an act of hatred and an endorsement of anti-Semitism, with instances of such sentiments being taught in Jordanian schools and promoted by public figures such as Dima Tahboub of Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood.
