The chairman of the Meretz faction, MK Michal Rozin, addressed allegations against a member of the Tel Aviv City Council on behalf of Meretz, Etai Pinkas, who suspended himself from office.
"Etai Pinkas' significant achievements for the gay community cannot be used as a shield for him, and I am sorry to call on Itai Pinkas to take responsibility, and from my acquaintance with him, I am sure that will be done."
She noted that "in the gay community as in other communities there is a bond of silence around sexual violence and it is good that it is broken. There is no room for sexual violence or abusive sexual conduct, neither in this community nor anywhere."
