    Hypocritically hiding behind the guise of freedom of speech, Norwegian actors have produced a video – using official funding - in which a fake spokesperson for the National Theatre of Norway disgracefully calls for a boycott of Israel’s national theater, HaBima, and the entire State of Israel.

    This disinformation clip is reminiscent of the works of the Reich Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, or the Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.

    Israel calls on the National Theatre of Norway, in whose name the libelous statements were made, to clearly and immediately repudiate them as well as to take the necessary measures to have the video removed from every site.

    The Foreign Ministry is actively pursuing this matter with all involved parties.
