Following a News 14 exposé on the program "Yoman Tsohorayim", a sign bearing the name of Yasser Arafat was removed from a bus stop in the local council of Jatt in the Sharon region. Interior Committee Chairman MK Itzik Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) arrived for a supervisory tour and personally verified that the signs were completely removed. Kroizer declared: "We will not allow the commemoration of terrorists and mass murderers in any corner of the State of Israel." The affair was first revealed on the program "Yoman Tsohorayim" and sparked public outrage. According to the report, the bus stop was established while commemorating Arafat's name, in violation of an explicit state directive from 2017 prohibiting his commemoration in the public sphere and contrary to official records. The removal of the sign marks a closure to an affair that aroused great anger among the Israeli public.
