TL;DR

The father who allegedly beat his 20-year-old daughter in Kiryat Gat after discovering she was dating an Arab man told journalist Daniel Amram he does not regret his actions, saying they came "from deep pain." His statement follows Amram's initial report, which drew over 1.5 million views.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The father at the center of the Kiryat Gat assault case has publicly stated he does not regret his actions, as reported Saturday evening by journalist Daniel Amram. On Friday, Amram first revealed that a 20-year-old woman from the Krayot area was severely physically assaulted and hospitalized after her father learned she was in a relationship with an Arab man. Following that post, which accumulated over 1.5 million views, the father told Amram: 'I don't regret the act. It came from deep pain that no one who isn't in my place can understand.' As The Zioneer previously reported, the incident involved the father allegedly beating the woman in her apartment, accusing her of 'bringing shame,' after which she was taken to the hospital and filed a police complaint. The father was arrested but released after two hours. The new statement adds the father's personal justification but does not change the legal status of the case, which remains under investigation.
