Likud ministers Yisrael Katz, Miri Regev and David Amsalem have canceled their participation in the "Influencers" conference of Channel 12 News, scheduled for Thursday, according to the Haaretz financial publication The Marker.
Haaretz says Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered Likud members not to attend the event "so as not to legitimize them," over the station's coproduction with Home Box Office of an anti-Israel film and its coverage of the corruption investigations against him. Member of Knesset Gideon Sa'ar is the only Likud member to announce that he will attend the conference as planned.
