No complaints, no checks: in Israel they spoke about the incident with the flag at the Galkin show*

In Israel, they denied conducting a check on comedian Maxim Galkin❶ after a video recording of how he put the Israeli flag on the Ukrainian one. This is reported by the RT telegram channel in Russian.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've heard," said a source in the Ministry of National Security.

It is also not known about any complaint from offended viewers to the Israeli police. At the same time, they noted that an appeal can be submitted in any division.

As EADaily reported, earlier videos from the artist's concert in Petah Tikva spread online. One of the spectators presented the artist with an Israeli flag. After thanking the fan, Galkin ❶ put the flag in a pile of gifts. After completing the program, the artist was presented with a Ukrainian flag, saying a few phrases on the move, he put it on top of the Israeli one.

The telegram channel Mash claimed that this gesture was not liked by "Israeli public figures" who allegedly filed a complaint, after which a check was launched against the comedian by the Ministry of National Security of the country.
