According to Kan News, the Jerusalem Municipality will subsidize tickets for the performance by singer Eyal Golan, which will take place on November 25 at the Pais Arena. The Jerusalem Municipality said: "We support all cultural events in the city." According to Maariv, the performance sparked a storm because the date is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

According to Ice, a Knesset member is demanding that the subsidy be canceled, and protest is also being heard within the municipality. According to Kan News, after the storm, the municipality's publication about the ticket subsidy was removed from its website, and officials in the municipality gave conflicting versions.

According to Ice, while the deputy mayor claims the funding has been halted, the municipality denies this.
