A radio broadcaster on IDF Radio shouted "shame" at Samotrich, and was expelled from the Knesset.
IDF Radio broadcaster, Sami Peretz, took advantage of his entry into the Knesset for press purposes to read out protests against the Finance Minister: "When Samotrich went to the press to celebrate the passage of the law, I couldn't bear it. I called out, 'Shame on you!'"
Journalist or political activist? Why not both. IDF Radio broadcaster, Sami Peretz, burst out today with shouts directed at the Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in the corridors of the Knesset.
Peretz, formerly the chief editor of the newspaper "TheMarker", is currently hosting the daily program "Life Itself" - which deals with economic and social matters. Today, he arrived at the Knesset to present the program from within the parliament, as part of the station's special broadcasting day, coinciding with the passage of the law to reduce the clause of reasonability.
Regarding the incident, he recounts: "I went to the Knesset to present a program on Galatz (IDF Radio). When Smotrich went to the press to celebrate the passage of the law, I couldn't bear it. I called out, 'Shame on you!' on behalf of the people who are here in the scorching heat. They expelled me from the Knesset because of that."
IDF Radio spokesperson stated: "IDF Radio maintains adherence to the accepted behavior rules in the Knesset and expects proper and respectful journalistic conduct. For this reason, the officer in charge of IDF Radio spoke with the presenter after the incident and clarified that such behavior is not acceptable.
It should be noted that the incident did not occur during the broadcast or near it, and the mentioned presenter works for TheMarker newspaper, covering the events in the Knesset for the newspaper."
