The Landlords Stir Anger in Hebrew Media.. And the Israeli Broadcasting Authority Attacks the Series

The Egyptian series 'The Landlords' has sparked significant backlash from Israeli media, particularly for its portrayal of the conflict in Gaza.

The Egyptian television series 'The Landlords' has gained attention from Israeli media since its promotional campaign began ahead of Ramadan, prompting a critical response from various Israeli outlets. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority dedicated a segment to discuss the series, where its reporter pointed out that the show presents a one-sided perspective on the Gaza war, which deviates from a positive portrayal of Israel. This criticism highlights the ongoing tensions in how media portrays the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israeli Channel 12 noted that the decision to produce and air 'The Landlords' on Egyptian state television is seen as a calculated political move in Israel, reflecting broader regional dynamics and the role of media in shaping perceptions of conflict. The series features a prominent cast, including Adam Bakri, son of Mohammed Bakri, known for his anti-Israel film 'Jenin Jenin.' This connection raises further concerns in Israeli circles about the content and intentions behind the series.

Expectations are high for the series, with Yedioth Ahronoth predicting that tens of millions of viewers across the Arab world will follow 'The Landlords.' This indicates not only the show's potential popularity but also underscores its significance in the cultural dialogue surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian narrative, potentially provoking further debate and reaction from both Israeli and Arab audiences.
