Consul General Ofir Akunis has reportedly criticized Jewish figures in Hollywood for staying silent amid current events, according to a report on ynet.
Akunis, who has previously spoken out against antisemitism following the Montreal shooting and the rise of anti-Israel rhetoric in New York politics, said that silence is not an option. The report did not specify which individuals he was referring to, but the comment appears to target prominent Jewish actors and producers.
The statement adds to a series of public remarks by Akunis on Jewish safety and the need to counter antisemitism, though the specific context of the Hollywood criticism remains unclear based on the initial report.
