Dozens of Knesset members from the coalition and the opposition demand an immediate halt to the government's intention to approve the international agreement in the field of culture - as revealed in "Israel Today" - which separates Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
The MKs, who are members of a coalition, called on the Right Gush, the Right Party, and the New Hope Party, to exercise the right of veto, which was intended for precisely such cases, in order to prevent a kidnapper from harming Yosh.
Yesterday it was revealed in "Israel Hayom" that the Lapid-Benet government is expected to approve in about two weeks participation in the European Union's program for cultural cooperation, "Creative Europe", whose total budget is 2 billion euros.
The Ministry of Culture estimated that the total profit for Israeli culture would amount to tens of millions of shekels.
But one of the conditions is that the agreement will not apply to the areas that Israel liberated in the Six Day War: the expanded Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, the Jordan Valley and the Golan Heights.
About 35 members of the Knesset signed the AI lobby, calling on the government to prevent the signing of the agreement. The letter is signed by the two heads of the lobby, MK Orit Strock and MK Yoav Kish, and many other members of the Knesset, including MK Nir Orbach and "As a Kara knight.

"A shot of encouragement to our enemies"
"We call on you to prevent the government's decision to approve the agreement in question, in light of the fact that it is subject to the embargo and discriminatory policy of the European Union, and will prevent the participation of a cultural institution or foundation in any activity that takes place in certain areas of the country," they wrote.
"The agreement of the State of Israel to withhold support from those who wish to shoot a film at the Western Wall or the Hermon, or from cultural projects that wish to perform or create in the Dead Sea, the Judean Desert, or the Cave of the Patriarchs, will harm the Israeli containment efforts against the BDS organizations and against the repeated attempts of our enemies to boycott us, and will be A shot of encouragement to the enemies of Israel and the promoters of boycotts against it," they added.
The AI lobby makes it clear that the comparison to the Horizon Agreement, signed by the right-wing government, is out of place, because it is an extreme case with costs of almost 100 billion euros in the fields of research and information, when the only party that was damaged by the discrimination in this case was Ariel University, which received compensation for it.
An official in the lobby said: "The fact that the ministers are giving up their personal power, abandoning the political arena to the left and refraining from vetoing such a move is even more serious than the formation of the government."
