Noam party chairman MK Avi Maoz appealed today (Sunday) to the chairman of the Second Authority council, Dr. Yifat Ben-Hai-Shegev, demanding an immediate investigation against Channel 12 commentator Muhammad Majadala. This follows recordings in which Majadala was seen encouraging the Arab public to vote, while linking a change of government to improved conditions for the imprisonment of terrorists. In his letter, Maoz demands examining whether Majadala's statements raise suspicions of improper political propaganda, and whether the messages he conveyed raise suspicions of harm to state security. Majadala responded that his words were taken out of context and that the translations were distorted. The article quotes descriptions of prisoner conditions from stories Majadala shared, and compares them to the words of another journalist who was arrested.
