Oz, who presents a show on Kan Reshet B, explained: “I didn’t sign because I didn’t like the wording that attributes malice to the elected government – a “regime coup” – and I don’t think the connection between the struggles is correct.”

Oz went on to explain his position also regarding the reform of the judicial system: “The reform must be given in a broad and national forum but certainly not abolished. And the corporation can be diversified even beyond what it is already diverse and certainly not closed – it is necessary and excellent.”

As mentioned, about two hundred Israeli artists and singers signed a petition against the government, but among them there are almost no eastern artists.

Ynet’s culture reporter, Ran Booker, published last night that the artists were put into a huge WhatsApp group containing about 500 members called “Musicians for Democracy”to organize the petition they signed.

According to Booker’s publication, the answers she received were “We don’t have their phones״.
