Avi Shoshan, a candidate in the Democratic Party primary, claimed that MK Naama Lazimi canceled a scheduled interview on his podcast three times and refused to appear due to his participation in panels on Channel 14. Shoshan made the allegation in a social media post, accusing Lazimi of political bias.
The accusation comes amid a contentious primary race in the newly formed Democratic Party. Shoshan, a candidate, made the claim in a post on social media, alleging that Lazimi, a sitting MK, avoided an interview with him because of his appearances on Channel 14, a right-leaning network. The party has seen several internal disputes in recent weeks, including the disqualification of former MK Mossi Raz from the primary and a public spat between party figure Omri Nahmani and journalist Daniel Amram, as reported by The Zioneer. Shoshan's claim has not been independently verified, and Lazimi has not yet responded publicly.
