Some 180 novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters and other literary figures on Saturday evening called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the Nationality Law and amend the Surrogacy Law, which discriminates against gay couples.
“We ask to express the great shock and heartache we’ve experienced in light of the recent laws passed by the Knesset under your leadership,” they wrote in a letter to the prime minister.
Among the signatories on the letter, which is an initiative of poet Ilan Sheinfeld, are: Amos Oz, David Grossman, A. B. Yehoshua, Hana Azoulay-Hasfari and Edna Mazia.
