Ra'am party chairman Mansour Abbas strongly condemned the smashing of the entrance doors at Channel 12's Tel Aviv offices, according to N12. Abbas said the government bears responsibility for a dangerous climate of incitement and violence.
Ra'am party chairman Mansour Abbas issued a statement Tuesday morning strongly condemning the smashing of the entrance doors at Channel 12's Tel Aviv offices, according to the network's report. Abbas placed responsibility on the government and ministers, warning of a dangerous public atmosphere of incitement, division, and legitimization of violence. 'Personal security cannot be a selective matter—it must be an equal right for everyone,' he said.
The incident, in which the glass entrance door was smashed with a stone, occurred overnight and was first reported at 07:10 Jerusalem by journalist Glikman, followed by Amit Segal citing the 301 Arab World the source. Shortly afterward, Channel 12 journalist Noam Cohen released video footage of the damaged door. Also at 07:10, Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman condemned the vandalism and called on the Israel Police to arrest those responsible and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.
This is the second time in recent weeks that the entrance door to Channel 12's Tel Aviv offices has been targeted. Following a previous incident last month, Channel 12 CEO Avi Weiss ordered an immediate security reinforcement at the studios, as The Zioneer reported on July 5.
The identity of the perpetrators and the exact circumstances of the attack remain unknown.
