Channel 13 seated an Arab MK next to a reservist – who left and was ridiculed

A shameful incident in Channel 13's studio: Joint List chairman MK Ayman Odeh was seated next to reservist Yigal Brand, who immediately left the studio and was mocked by the panelists and the host.

A shameful incident occurred in Channel 13's studio when Joint List chairman MK Ayman Odeh was seated next to reservist Yigal Brand, who served over 600 reserve days in Gaza and Lebanon and was wounded during the war. Brand, who also serves as CEO of the World Betar movement, got up and left the studio as soon as Odeh joined, claiming he refuses to sit with a 'terror supporter'. The article describes how instead of respecting his stance, the panelists and the host made dismissive remarks, with the host saying: 'Good luck with the video on social media', implying Brand sought exposure rather than standing on principle. The article accuses Channel 13 of adding 'sin to crime' against the soldier.
