Avishai David, whose son Evyatar is a hostage, condemned MK Merav Cohen (Yesh Atid-Bennett) for using his son's image in a political attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The father previously threatened legal action over the use of the photo, as The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday.
Avishai David, the father of hostage Evyatar David, issued a statement Thursday evening condemning MK Merav Cohen (Yesh Atid-Bennett) for using his son's photograph in a political attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The father's statement follows earlier reports that he had threatened legal action over the unauthorized use of the image. The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday that David was considering legal action against those who used his son's photo for political incitement. The current statement explicitly names Cohen and criticizes her for exploiting the hostage's image for partisan purposes.
