Forgot the fighters of Force 100? Feiglin came to be interviewed on Channel 12 News

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, was interviewed this evening on Channel 12's "Meet the Press" program, despite the channel not yet apologizing to the fighters of Force 100 over the Sde Teiman affair. The report raises a question about Feiglin's public responsibility given the boycott of the channel by other elected officials.

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party and number two on the Religious Zionism list, was interviewed this evening (Saturday) on Channel 12's "Meet the Press" program, despite the channel not yet apologizing to the fighters of Force 100 over the publications in the Sde Teiman affair. The interview took place against the backdrop of an ongoing call to boycott Channel 12 following the broadcast of an edited video from the detention facility at Sde Teiman, which sparked public and international uproar. In March of last year, the indictment against five Force 100 fighters was dropped due to evidentiary difficulties and procedural flaws, but Channel 12 has not yet published an apology. Ministers and Knesset members from the national camp announced they would refrain from being interviewed on the channel until an apology, but in recent months some of them, including Ministers Amichai Chikli, Itamar Ben Gvir, and Gideon Sa'ar, have returned to being interviewed. Now Feiglin joins the list. During the interview, Feiglin criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said he should have resigned following the October 7 massacre, but clarified that he still belongs to the Netanyahu camp. The report raises a question about the public responsibility Feiglin attributes to the channel's conduct in the Force 100 affair.
