Right-wing activist Mordechai David has sparked controversy with Channel 12's news division after Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir predicted David's potential future as a minister. During a taxi ride interview for the program "Sheva," hosted by Keren Marciano, Ben-Gvir suggested that in 10 to 20 years, David could be interviewed as a minister. The panel reacted critically, with journalist Yair Sherki suggesting the timeline might be much shorter, drawing parallels to Ben-Gvir's own political rise.
David, watching the broadcast, accused Channel 12 of hypocrisy in a social media post. He stated that the network was "scared" by Ben-Gvir's prediction and contrasted it with the perceived lack of concern for Arab Members of Knesset like Ahmed Tibi. David implied that Channel 12's reaction indicated a double standard.
This is not the first time David has been in the public eye for confrontational actions. He recently organized a protest against filmmaker Yuval Abraham, whose documentary presented alleged testimonies of soldiers regarding war crimes in Gaza and won an award at the Venice Film Festival. David had vowed to locate Abraham abroad and harass him, stating his intention to pursue the filmmaker within legal boundaries.
