MK Ariel Kallner (Likud) said the left bloc and judiciary are trying to blame Netanyahu, the Kohelet Forum, and Channel 14 for the country's ills, while portraying protesters Shikma Bresler, Brothers in Arms, and Channel 12 as the ones saving Israel. Kallner made the remarks on Channel 14, according to the broadcast.
MK Ariel Kallner (Likud) leveled sharp criticism at Israel's judicial system and the political left during a Channel 14 broadcast on Thursday, accusing them of framing the narrative to blame Prime Minister Netanyahu, the conservative Kohelet Forum, and the right-wing station Channel 14 for the country's problems. According to the broadcast, Kallner contrasted this with what he described as the left's preferred saviors — protest leaders Shikma Bresler, the Brothers in Arms organization, and the mainstream Channel 12. The remarks reflect ongoing political polarization in Israel, with right-wing figures pushing back against perceived institutional and media biases. The Zioneer has previously covered similar political divides, including reactions to the emerging US-Iran deal, but this statement stands as a standalone domestic political comment rather than a direct foreign-policy critique.
