Journalist and panelist Avi Yishai Ben-Haim published video footage this evening (Tuesday) showing, according to him, the moment of a physical assault he experienced during a left-wing protest near the President's Residence while working as a reporter for Channel 13. In a sharp post on X (Twitter), Ben-Haim attacked what he called silence from the police, media, politicians, and journalist organizations, which he said did not condemn the incident. He noted that the attack occurred during a live broadcast, and that the attacker, identified by him as affiliated with the left-wing camp, was not arrested. Ben-Haim added that this was his last appearance on Channel 13, and that the public atmosphere almost encouraged the attacker. He called for stopping the deterioration and fixing things 'in all directions.'
