A delegation from the 'Place for All of Us' party visited the offices of Israel's Channel 12 news on October 12, 2026, to demand the dismissal of journalist Amit Segal. The party cited Segal's positions and statements as contrary to journalistic ethics, professionalism, and objectivity.
The delegation, including party co-chair Rula Daoud, Itamar Avneri, and Yontan Zaychen, presented a symbolic banner calling for Segal's removal. They argued that Segal promotes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's agenda and political campaign instead of practicing independent journalism that holds power accountable, particularly given the country's recent crises.
The party also accused Segal of practicing racist and exclusionary journalism towards the Arab community, which they claim violates professional and ethical responsibilities. Daoud stated that Segal does not deserve his platform, asserting that journalism should not be a space for racism or incitement against Arab citizens, nor should it serve as a mouthpiece for the government or Netanyahu's political campaign.
'Place for All of Us' emphasized that media should serve the public, not the government or any political leader. They stressed that press freedom does not absolve journalists and media organizations of responsibility for their statements and stances.
