This is a disgrace. I'm no fan of Abdul El-Sayed, but he is a doctor. So is Ahmad Tibi. The idea that Arabs or Muslims cannot be physicians or lie about their credentials is racist. @MoriahAsraf and Eyal Berkovic are two of the most racist commentators on Israeli TV today, and after being warned, they are doubling down. The scary part is they don't seem to realize it, on a channel that's supposed to be Israel's liberal one, home to @RavivDrucker. Asaf Rapoport should step in.

Eisenkot Responds to Netanyahu: "Those who have divided and torn apart Israeli society from within only mention the word 'unity' when they realize their time in office is coming to an end. Unity is an important value for Israel, and Netanyahu has systematically and resolutely worked against it, even during the most difficult war in our history. To be clear: If the Likud party and its members suddenly desire 'unity' and a broad government, they are more than welcome to publicly announce the end of their alliance with the extremists, to accept the four principles of Gadi Eisenkot, and to express their willingness to join a government under Prime Minister Eisenkot. Until then, this is nothing more than a pathetic attempt at manipulation."

This was a disgrace. President Herzog told Otzma Yehudit that Ben-Gvir's steps in the prisons were important and overdue. Freed hostages have said their captors beat them and cited Ben-Gvir's treatment of Palestinian prisoners. Ynet reported the Shin Bet warned Ben-Gvir that his comments were increasing violence against hostages, and that he refused a recommendation to stop posting about it to lower tensions and protect the hostages.
