Jordanian restaurant removes offensive ‘October 7’ signage
Widespread condemnation after Shawarma eaterie opened with name glorifying Hamas' murder of 1,200 Israelis
A new restaurant in Jordan which named itself ‘October 7’ has removed its signage.
As reported by Jewish News, footage of the food joint in the southern Mazar district near the city of Kerak, was shared by a former Jordanian MP.
Whilst social media reports that the owner changed the signage, it remains unclear whether the name itself has been changed.
