Investigation Closed Against Partner of Singer Nasrin Kadri

An investigation into an assault involving hostage survivor Rom Barslavsky and David Ziton, the partner of singer Nasrin Kadri, has been closed after nine months due to insufficient evidence. The police decided to close the criminal case, opened approximately nine months ago, citing a lack of public interest and defining the incident as a spontaneous, mutual assault. Investigators examined all leads and collected testimonies, concluding after nearly a year that there were no definitive findings to justify indicting those involved, particularly Ziton.

The incident occurred on the night of January 18, 2026, outside the "HIVE" club in Tel Aviv, where Kadri was hosting a private party. Barslavsky and a friend arrived and sought entry, but an argument escalated into a violent altercation with Ziton. Ziton was subsequently investigated and placed under house arrest for several days. Barslavsky claimed he was punched and kicked while trying to help his friend. Ziton stated in his investigation that he acted solely in self-defense and attempted to de-escalate the situation.

Barslavsky had expressed his expectation for the police to file charges against the suspect, stating, "There is a video, there are testimonies. It is clearly seen that he attacked me and M and caused us injuries. The picture is very clear. The evidence in the case is quite clear and an indictment should be filed against the suspect in the attack. We will not let this go."

Initially, the case was a major topic of discussion. After completing most investigative actions, the Tel Aviv precinct investigators transferred the evidence to the district prosecution unit, which was to decide whether to indict Ziton or close the case due to lack of evidence or acquittal. Nasrin Kadri herself was not summoned for testimony and maintained her right to silence throughout the proceedings.
