Storm on Channel 12. Presenter and journalist Arad Nir presented a poll of the channel’s mandates in his show ‘Seder Olimi’, sowing expressions against Netanyahu and the right-wing bloc. “There is still no decision between the bloc that is loyal to opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu, who is on trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust, and the group of parties that stands in front of him,” Nir began, causing a stir.
The name of Otzma Yehudit causes discomfort
He was not satisfied with presenting Netanyahu as the accused, and said further: “This is even after he trained the Israeli extreme right-winger Itamar Ben Gabir and connected him with Bezalel Smotrich, who wants the State of Israel to be governed according to the law of the Torah in a party whose very name causes discomfort, Otzma Yehudit.”
In the channel they shake off
After these things, which caused a great storm on the network, the CEO of the news company reprimanded Nir for his words and summoned him for clarification. The company said: “The news company disavows the words”, and an official of the company said: “We encourage a plurality of opinions, but we will not agree to leaking personal positions into news reports.” .
