Channel 12 omitted Feiglin from the list of bereaved candidates for the Knesset

Channel 14 reports that Channel 12 omitted Moshe Feiglin from a list of bereaved candidates for the Knesset, even though his grandson fell in Gaza. The name of Bezalel Smotrich was also not mentioned. The presenter apologized for a 'good-faith mistake'.

Channel 14 reports that in a segment broadcast on Channel 12 as part of 'Ulpan Shishi', candidates for the Knesset who lost family members in the war were presented, but the name of the chairman of the Zehut party, Moshe Feiglin, was omitted from the list. Feiglin's grandson, Sergeant Yair Levin, fell in battle in the southern Gaza Strip. The name of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who lost his cousin, Reserve Major Amishar Ben David, was also not mentioned. The omission sparked outrage on social media, with comments calling Channel 12 'engineers of consciousness'. The channel's presenter, Zerifi, issued an apology and explained that it was a good-faith mistake. She clarified that the list referred to first- and second-degree relatives, and that Itzik Bunzel, a bereaved father, was not included because he was not elected to the new Knesset.
