Omar was widely criticized by his followers, who rejected and condemned his actions, especially since it is not the first time to cause controversy.

He previously talked about his homosexuality and said that he loves to have sexual relations with men, in addition to his political positions and his involvement in an Israeli business.

โ€œSo excited to be joining one of my favorite series ever created! @thebakerandthebeauty by @assiazar โค๏ธ Thank you to @innovativeartists and @keytalentmanagement,โ€ he captioned.

The series, created by Assi Azar, is one of the most popular and watched series in Israel.

It was debuted in 2013 and follows the love story of a simple baker Amos (Avraham Aviv Alush) and a wealthy international superstar Noa (Rotem Sela Rotem Sela).
