Singer Midad Tasa Reveals Long-Held Secret Amid Legal Battle

Translated & summarized from Channel 13 by baba
The story · English

Israeli singer Midad Tasa has revealed a long-kept secret, stating he "silenced myself" due to a "global sword" hanging over him. Tasa made these remarks in the context of a legal dispute involving Aviad Gil, who is suing Tasa for defamation.

Gil's representative stated that Gil "rejects the claims, and a factual investigation will lead to their dismissal in court. The interview campaign is an improper use of public pressure instead of waiting for the court." Tasa's revelations come as part of his defense against Gil's lawsuit, which seeks damages for alleged defamation.

Tasa has been engaged in a public interview campaign to share his story and defend himself against Gil's accusations. The nature of the secret Tasa has kept and the specifics of the "global sword" remain undisclosed in the provided text, but it is presented as a significant burden that influenced his actions and public silence for years. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with both parties preparing their cases for court.
