    MK Forer: Bring back Ofira and Berkovic show

    Member of Knesset Oded Forer (Yisrael Beytenu) has demanded that the Keshet television franchise and the Second Authority for Television and Radio cancel the suspension of the "Ofira and Berkovic" news interview show, which was brought on by co-host Eyal Berkovic's comments about Arab Knesset members.

    Forer said, "Enough groveling before the representatives of the terrorists in the Knesset. One who smuggles cell phones to terrorists, stands for a minute of silence in memory of terrorists, calls IDF soldiers murderers, attacks policemen and does haphlot when Jews are murdered is not fit to sit in the Knesset and fit to be interviewed by Israel media. Keshet must immediately cancel the suspension of the program." Forer added that rewarding supporters of terrorism is not a public value that Israeli media should express.
