Mamdani dined at NYC restaurant linked to anti-Israel menu after being booed at Oct 7 vigil: report

Zohran Mamdani, an NYC politician, visited the Palestinian restaurant 'Ayat' (specifically the Hinds Hall location) on the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks. This dinner occurred shortly after he attended an October 7 vigil in Union Square, where he was heckled and called a 'traitor' by pro-Palestinian protesters. The restaurant has previously faced criticism for its menu content, which includes maps of the region labeled as Palestine and phrases that critics associate with the slogan 'From the river to the sea.' Mamdani has defended his stance, calling for the mourning of all lives lost while maintaining his characterization of Israel's military actions in Gaza as genocide.
