Journalist Ayelet Hasson has responded to a condemnation from the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC) regarding her remarks about Bedouin women. The IPBC had claimed that no one dictated the wording of her apology. Hasson stated on X (formerly Twitter) that Lior Landenberg, the News Division Director, dictated an apology that distorted her words and attributed meanings she did not intend. She further alleged that Landenberg demanded she read this dictated apology on air as a condition for her appearance, even after she had already apologized multiple times.
Hasson attached screenshots to her post and questioned why the corporation's ethical standards seemed to change depending on the journalist's identity. The IPBC had previously issued a statement condemning Hasson's remarks about Bedouin women, asserting that her apology was not dictated and that the corporation does not tolerate such statements.
