The controversy surrounding the removal of media personality and Kan 11 presenter Ayelet Hasson from her broadcasts at the Public Broadcasting Corporation continues to draw sharp reactions. Lawyer Kinneret Barashi, in an interview on Eli Tsipori's radio show on Gal Israel, defended Hasson and strongly criticized the corporation's leadership decision. Barashi described the action as "stifling of speech," asserting that Hasson "dared to voice a different opinion, not the voice that only attacks and incites."
Barashi pointed fingers at the employees and managers of the Public Broadcasting Corporation, highlighting that their salaries are funded by taxpayers. "People sit in the corporation receiving salaries and do not do a third or a quarter of what Ayelet Hasson does," she stated. Hasson herself was reportedly seen breaking down in tears on air, questioning "Is this what I deserve?"
"We have the full right to criticize them, because these salaries are received from us, the taxpayer citizens are the ones paying these salaries, and we also want to hear our voice, the other voice," Barashi added. She concluded by calling for decisive public action against the move concerning the senior presenter, stating, "This event is a dangerous and crazy event, and I do not think the public should sit idly by and be content with statuses and posts."
