Two Israeli musicians, Assaf Amdursky and Hemi Rudner, have distanced themselves from a widely circulated petition that accused Israel of starving children in Gaza and called for an end to the conflict. Amdursky clarified on social media that while he supports ending the war, he does not agree with claims that Israel's military is committing war crimes or intentionally harming civilians, emphasizing his support for Israeli soldiers. Rudner expressed discomfort with the petition's wording, noting he was not involved in drafting it and has since posted his own statement that highlights suffering on both sides and calls for an end to the war. The original petition, signed by over 2,000 artists and creatives, sparked significant debate and criticism for its strong language against Israel's actions in Gaza.
