Here’s What We Know About the Protests Surrounding Michael Solomonov’s Restaurants | Eater Philly

"As the high-end restaurant in Solomonov’s CookNSolo group, I reported that Zahav was one of the venues he used to raise money for those injured in the Israel-Hamas war: Solomonov said he would donate 100 percent of sales on October 12 to Friends of United Hatzalah, and the combined fundraiser (including Zahav, Goldie, Laser Wolf, and K’Far Cafe) raised more than $100,000; the donations drew criticism because United Hatzalah is currently partnering with the IDF during the war even though it typically functions as a medical emergency service that treats victims regardless of citizenship and coordinates with Palestinian and Israeli emergency services." - Ernest Owens
