Israeli Ambassador Ofir Akunis invited New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to watch a 47-minute documentary produced by the Israel Defense Forces, which includes footage captured by Hamas on October 7. The ambassador aims to use this film to illustrate the realities of that day and emphasize the importance of supporting Israel's right to defend itself. This invitation follows Mamdani’s criticism of Israel and his support for the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against it.
