Journalist and former news anchor Guela Even-Saar has sharply criticized the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC) and its employees for their silence regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding journalist Ayelet Hasson. Even-Saar expressed astonishment that "not one talent" within the IPBC, including those who appeared on Hasson's programs, has defended her, calling it a "model" of collegiality.
Even-Saar cited sections of the IPBC's founding law, which mandate diverse content reflecting all segments of Israeli society and a fair representation of various viewpoints. She accused the IPBC's management of dereliction of duty, stating that the content provided "shall be directed to all citizens of the State of Israel and its residents... shall reflect the values and heritage of Israel and shall give fair and equal expression to the variety of views and opinions prevalent in the public in Israel."
Furthermore, Even-Saar linked the timing of actions taken against Hasson to the political landscape following recent elections. She suggested that the management's alleged dereliction of duty was compounded by cowardice, evidenced by the decision to take action against Hasson "a minute after the election results" were announced.
