Hebrew media and activists on social media in Israel launched an attack on Jordan today, Thursday, after a Jordanian citizen opened a restaurant in the southern Jordanian province of Karak, named "October 7" in honor of the day when Hamas elements entered settlements in the Gaza perimeter in an operation dubbed "Al-Aqsa Flood." The name of the restaurant has garnered attention in the Jordanian community, which supports the Palestinian resistance fighting in Gaza for over 110 days, while the Hebrew press has sharply criticized Jordan.
Activists in Jordan circulated images and videos of the restaurant, calling for support and patronage as a clever marketing tactic for the new establishment in a province known for its political activism and Arab nationalism. The Israeli newspaper "Kan" published a photo of the restaurant’s name, leaving it open for commentators to attack Jordan and the restaurant's owner.
One settler responded to the image shared by "Kan," saying: "It's a suitable opportunity to export two million Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan to eat shawarma for free, as it is better for them than dying from hunger and disease in Gaza." Meanwhile, other commentators called for a time to supply Jordan with water due to provocative actions.
It is noteworthy that the province of Karak also witnessed the naming of the first Jordanian child as "Mohammed Deif," in tribute to the commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.
