Report: Minister tells broadcaster of Independence Day event to cut away from protest messages

Minister Miri Regev has reportedly ordered organizers of Tuesday evening’s official state annual Independence Day torch-lighting ceremony to cut away from any frame that includes anti-government protest messages on banners or shirts.

Channel 12 reports that the broadcaster has been told to cut to a different frame whenever participants or audience members make an anti-judicial overhaul display.

Regev, in addition to her role as transportation minister, is also charged with organizing Israel’s 75th Independence Day national ceremony.
