Member of Knesset Esawi Frej (Meretz) has appealed to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres not to invite singer Amir Benayoun to appear at the organization's International Holocaust Remembrance Day event.
Frej said, ""This is a singer who, for a long time, has been exploiting his talent and public sales to spread hatred and racism. I do not want a racist to represent my country at the UN, and since the Israeli ambassador to the UN finds it hard to understand, I turned to Secretary General Guterres to correct the distortion."
