With the publication of the details of the incident, the Histadrut management received explicit telephone threats from Jewish sources in the Diaspora calling for a halt to the transfer of donations to the organization if Nini's appearance was not canceled. The Histadrut's Facebook page also posted angry reactions to the election, such as "Will Mahmoud Abbas, Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal also be invited?" And "the Histadrut cooperates with the extreme left."

Gusti Yehoshua Braverman, head of the Histadrut's Diaspora Department, said that the Histadrut agreed with the election of Benini: "It is Israel's ambassador to various countries. "Political discourse and intimidation cannot harm our vision and connection with Diaspora Jewry in its various streams." Braverman added that "in these days of deep international crisis and a very large crisis in Israeli society and the Jewish people, we are required more than ever to a united front in the face of attempts at division."

British Rebbetzin Lia Molstein, chairwoman of the "Our Country" faction in the national institutions, said that Zionism has room for all diversity of opinion, "even in situations where some members disagree with some of the positions of other members.

Moshe Cohen, a representative of the World Zionist Organization in France and Belgium, told Israel Today that he has received dozens of complaints from people in the community who oppose Nini's performance: "Every performance should be tailored to its community. In France the community is mostly secular or left-wing, but traditional and religious. "Certainly things are charged when Nini was photographed in the past alongside Abu Mazen or the Vatican. The complainants are threatening to boycott our events in the Zionist Organization, it could cause us severe damage."

Nini's name also made headlines yesterday, when she confronted MK Osnat Mark (Likud) on the "First Edition" program. At first, the singer talked about the demonstrations in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence, but then Mark was broadcast - and the two began exchanging blows. Verbal.
