The musician Eliav Zohar, winner of "The Next Star" and the son of Culture Minister Miki Zohar, responded this evening (Monday) to the call to boycott his performances due to his father's intention to reexamine the "Israeli Shabbat" project.

In response to a tweet by one of the surfers on Twitter who wrote "Boycott Eliav Zahar's performances on weekdays and Saturdays", Eliav replied: "The truth is that it makes me very sad.

I am not a politician and not related to this world.

I just love my dad always.



"Anyone who seeks to hurt my father through me and punish me for his political decisions and it's his, I have no interest in reacting to it or referring to it," added Eliav Zohar. "I live and breathe the world of music that speaks to everyone without distinction and without any barriers."

The tweet that called for Eliav's concerts to be boycotted was deleted a short time later.

Minister Miki Zohar responded this evening (Monday) in an interview on News 12 edition about the storm: "At no point did I intend to do this. I am not coming to stop activity on Shabbat. The only question is whether the ministry I lead initiates the activity, or only finances it."



To the question of what was said in the conversation he had with the Prime Minister, Zohar replied: "He congratulated me on the decision I made. I told him that I had no intention of stopping funding. The only thing I asked of the people of my office and so it would be - that the ministry would not be the one to initiate. That is, if the community center network Come and initiate such an activity, I won't be on my shift.

I'm just saying that the office should not initiate.

Netanyahu asked if I was stopping funding.

I told him no - and he calmed down." He also said: "There may have been a mistake in the explanation, but not in substance."
