Israeli actor and singer-songwriter Idan Amedi criticizes Transportation Minister Miri Regev after she said yesterday that she was”ignoring the noise” of people criticizing her plans for the state’s October 7 memorial ceremony.
“It isn’t noise, it’s our brothers and sisters,” Amedi, who was injured while serving in Gaza in January, writes on Instagram in response to Regev.
“Everyone who came to the south on October 7 secretly wondered if they would be able to return to their families and loved ones,” writes the “Fauda” actor.
“In Sderot and in Kfar Aza, in Ofakim and in Be’eri, we’re the same people. the same fragments, the same longing,” he adds.
Responding to Amedi, Regev claims that he had been “misled” by “false items in the media.”
“I also think like you, we must unite and act together,” she says. “When I spoke about noise, I was speaking about those who incite against me, harm me, compare me to Sinwar and threaten my life. At no point did I speak of bereaved families, hostage families or any communities.”
She adds again that “unfortunately, the media is distorting and dividing us.”
