MK Issawi Frij (Meretz) responded to the calls to dismiss media personality Razi Barkai after Barkai compared bereaved families to terrorists’ families.

“In the past week, a form of targeted elimination was directed at Razi Barkai. Tens of years of achievements and excellence did not succeed in preventing the esteemed journalist’s dismissal, when his only crime was daring to express a little empathy for the other side,” Frij said.
