TL;DR

The father of Sergeant Ohad Yaari, killed in southern Lebanon two weeks ago, said that almost no politicians from the left camp have visited his family, except for Merav Ben Ari and Elazar Stern. He contrasted this with visits from coalition party representatives. The statement was made in a message to journalist Yinon Yakiri.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The father of Sergeant Ohad Yaari, who was killed in southern Lebanon two weeks ago in a suspected friendly-fire incident, said Monday morning that almost no politicians from the left wing of the political spectrum have visited his family to offer condolences. In a message to journalist Yinon Yakiri, the father named only Merav Ben Ari and Elazar Stern as exceptions from the left camp, while noting that representatives from coalition parties did visit. The IDF has not commented on the matter. As The Zioneer previously reported, Yaari's death was initially believed to be a friendly-fire incident, and his father had previously called for the release of the soldier who accidentally fired the shot.
