TL;DR

American singer Joe Jonas posted a photo showing he is watching the World Cup via Israel's public broadcaster Kan 11, bypassing US networks that charge for access, sparking amusement online according to Israeli media reports.

01 · THE DISPATCH

American singer Joe Jonas, formerly of the Jonas Brothers, posted a photo on social media showing him watching the World Cup on Israel's public broadcaster Kan 11, according to Israeli media reports. The post has generated lighthearted reactions online, as US networks typically require a paid subscription or cable package to stream World Cup matches, while Kan 11 offers the broadcast free of charge to viewers in Israel. The photo appeared to show a screen displaying the Kan 11 brand, leading to speculation that Jonas, who is not known to be in Israel at this time, accessed the stream via a VPN or other means. There is no additional context from our prior reporting on this story.
