Member of Knesset Ofir Akunis (Likud) walked out demonstratively when the daughter of Doctor Yisrael Kastner and his granddaughter, MK Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union), went up to light a memorial candle in memory of Kasztner during the ceremony "Every man has a name" in the Knesset.
Kastner was a Jewish-Hungarian journalist and lawyer who became known for having helped Jews escape from the Holocaust. He was assassinated in 1957 after an Israeli court accepted a writer's accusation he collaborated with the Nazis.
