Jerusalem, 3 August, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- Idan Amedi, star of the Netflix show “Fauda” and singer, slammed a recent petition signed by Israeli artists accusing Israel of “war crimes” in Gaza and calling for an end to the war.
“A bunch of detached people spreading lies and fake news,” Amedi wrote on Instagram in response to the petition, which was posted by Israeli journalist Raz Shechnik.
“In every apartment in Gaza, you’ll find propaganda materials full of Jew-hatred and antisemitism—from photos of ‘martyr’ terrorists to stickers reading ‘With blood and fire we will conquer Jerusalem.’ This is a group of privileged people who continue to amplify ignorance, stupidity, and falsehoods,” Amedi wrote.
Amedi, now 37, was serving in Gaza as a reservist in the Combat Engineering Corps. He was injured in a January 2024 explosion in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Six soldiers were killed. He announced in February he would not reprise his role of undercover agent Sagi Tzur.
