Gil Tamri, foreign news editor of News 13, spoke out strongly this week against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the subject of the abductees. His words caused a big uproar, Tamri apologized on air and was suspended.
The suspension itself sparked the debate as to whether a journalistic system should not back a journalist even if he failed in his speech, since he still did not incite and did not exceed the limits of freedom of expression. Arel Segal and David Wertheim discussed this on Walla! Barangay.
