Meretz Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz welcomes Etai Pinkas' decision to suspend his position in the Tel Aviv Municipality.
"We must say this again clearly - there is no room for sexual abuse. Not in the gay community, or anywhere else. Meretz has been leading the struggle for many years against violence, harassment and sexual exploitation, without compromise, to allow a safe space for women and men in Israel, and to break the bond of silence. There have been many years around this painful subject.
We will continue to fight together to make sure that everyone who is assualted will feel that we have their back, that he has a sympathetic ear and full support from the proud community and its public representatives. "
