The 'Place for Us All' party protested outside Channel 12 offices on Tuesday, demanding the dismissal of journalist Amit Segal. A delegation from the party, including co-chair Rula Daoud, Itamar Avneri, and Yontan Zeichn, presented a symbolic banner calling for Segal's removal.
The party cited Segal's statements and positions as contrary to journalistic ethics, professionalism, and objectivity. They accused him of promoting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's agenda and serving his political campaign instead of practicing independent journalism that holds power accountable, particularly during recent national crises.
Furthermore, the party criticized Segal's work for alleged racism and exclusion towards the Arab community, which they stated contradicts the professional and ethical responsibilities of journalists, especially within a highly influential media outlet.
Rula Daoud stated, "Amit Segal does not deserve the position and media platform he enjoys. Journalism is not a place for spreading racism and incitement against Arab citizens, nor is its job to be a mouthpiece for the government or serve Netanyahu's political campaign." She added that more competent and professional journalists deserve media space to deliver real and responsible journalism that respects all citizens.
The 'Place for Us All' party emphasized that the media should serve the public, not the government or any political leader, and that press freedom does not absolve journalists and media institutions of responsibility for their statements and positions.
