      Shalom Asaig said before entering a meeting with Netanyahu: "Hopefully they will open up the world of culture and we will return to perform. I am sure there are ways to do that, capsules that are rejected, there is no reason for them to open restaurants and hotels - that is welcome, yes? - and we will not work." Culture Minister Hili Trooper told Walla! Culture before entering a meeting with Netanyahu: "We have been working for many weeks on a variety of outlines that can be approved and it is right to approve them immediately. They balance all health needs and society's need for culture. And I hope we leave here tonight with a happy outline."

      The invitation to the rage demonstration about the silence of the world of culture that is currently taking place in front of Defense Minister Bnei Gantz's house was held under the title "Order 8 for Cultural Workers", and was designed in the style of the illustrated children's book series "Where Where?" The title is "Where is my son?". The invitation reads: "It is time to ask - where are my sons? An alternative prime minister in a parity government must come to his senses and take responsibility."

It is not possible for everything to open up, it is discussed and ignored, and we are completely ignored. It is a struggle of the whole society for the spirit, for the soul of us all. There is no nation without culture and it is measured in it. It is a war for survival."
