The video that circulated online and the response of Minister Levin: "I went out for a drink at halftime"
Justice Minister Yariv Levin attended the Hapoel Tel Aviv match, was cursed by a fan, and claimed he went out for a drink at halftime and was not expelled from the stadium.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a Hapoel Tel Aviv fan, arrived last night (Saturday) at Bloomfield Stadium to watch his team's match against Ironi Tiberias. Footage circulated on social media showed one of the fans hurling curses and severe accusations at Levin, including '1,200 dead in one day, so many Hapoel Tel Aviv fans died because of you.' Online, many celebrated what they presented as his expulsion from the stadium, but Levin strongly denied this. According to him, he went out at halftime for a drink and returned to watch the rest of the match. 'The narrative is simply ridiculous and false,' the minister said, adding that many fans actually approached him to encourage and support him. The article also quotes journalist Uri Misgav, who published the footage and called 'to make this thing real.'
