The Consul General of Israel in New York, Ofir Akunis, has invited New York City Mayor to a private screening of a 47-minute video compiled by the IDF. The video includes footage captured by Hamas terrorists during their October 7, 2023, attacks on Israeli communities.
Akunis sent the invitation on October 5, ahead of the third anniversary of the Hamas attack. In his letter, Akunis stated that the Mayor of New York's remarks about Israel contribute to the rise of antisemitism in New York. "Perhaps after watching this film, you will truly understand why the Jewish state is so important and why we will continue to defend ourselves, regardless of who opposes us and when it happens," Akunis wrote.
The Consul General expressed hope that the Mayor of New York would accept the invitation, asserting that the video conveys the reality of the October 7 events in a way words cannot. The film has not been shown to the general public due to its graphic content, but has been screened privately for foreign journalists, diplomats, Knesset members, U.S. Congress members, White House and intelligence officials, Hollywood representatives, and university leaders since October 2023.
Private screenings have taken place in locations such as Los Angeles, New York, Washington, and Harvard. By November 2023, the video had been shown approximately 70 times in 30 countries.
