MK Leah Fadida (Zionist Union) criticized Minister of Culture and sport Miri Regev saying:
"Regev boasts that throughout her tenure she has worked to strengthen the periphery. The problem is that in her view, strengthening the periphery must come at the same time as silencing voices. The opposite is true: the periphery becomes the periphery precisely when it is not allowed to express itself properly. Regev's term in the Ministry of Culture will be remembered in Israeli history not only as an embarrassing curiosity but also as a period that caused real damage to Israeli culture."
