"Cheap provocation": A despicable display of the prime minister was presented at the Tel Aviv Museum

A display in the form of a monkey against Prime Minister Netanyahu was placed at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The museum stated that it is an act of vandalism. Coalition ministers harshly condemned it and demanded to cut funding from the museum.

A display in the form of a monkey against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was placed today (Tuesday) at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, sparking harsh criticism from coalition ministers. Behind the display is an artist who calls himself 'Back to Natural Size', who habitually places similar statues around the country. This time, unlike previous cases, the display was placed inside an institution funded by the State of Israel. The Tel Aviv Museum stated that the display was placed without the museum's knowledge or approval, and that it is an act of vandalism that caused damage to the museum's walls. The museum announced it would file a police complaint. Minister Yariv Levin condemned the display as 'blatant, low, and inciting degradation' and demanded to cut public funding from the museum. Culture Minister Miki Zohar called the event 'a disgrace and a shame' and announced he had instructed to examine the implications of the event on public support for the museum.
