What is the connection between Yair Golan and the attack on Channel 14 reporter?

Channel 14 reporter Gal Tobi was interrupted by passersby while reporting outside a polling station in Haifa. The article links the incident to statements by Yair Golan, who previously threatened to shut down the channel and prevented its reporter from covering a party event, claiming it reflects a trend of restricting press freedom for the right.

Channel 14's northern correspondent, Gal Tobi, faced interruptions from passersby while reporting outside a polling station in Haifa. The disruptors allegedly tried to shout and cut off the broadcast solely due to the channel's logo on the microphone, according to the article. The piece, by political commentator Mati Tuchfeld, links the incident to statements by Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, who previously threatened to shut down the channel and barred its reporter from covering a party event. Tuchfeld claims this is a 'method' and that the field disruptions are part of a broader trend of restricting press freedom for the right, citing the past closure of Channel 7 and legislative attempts against 'Israel Hayom'.
