Democrats' Golan, Kariv decry gov't inaction on West Bank violence in visit to wounded journalist
Democrats leader Golan and MK Kariv visited Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine after she was attacked in the West Bank, accusing the government of failing to address Jewish extremist violence.
Yair Golan and Gilad Kariv, members of the Democratic party, expressed outrage over the government's failure to respond to a violent attack on Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine in the West Bank. During a visit to Levine in the hospital, Golan recounted the moment she described the attack, committed by Jewish extremist settlers. He said, "I sat across from her, together with MK Gilad Kariv, and heard about the moments of terror. About the awful fear that she wouldn't come out of there alive."
Kariv condemned the attack as attempted murder, stating that the government and military authorities failed to handle her transfer to a hospital. He further claimed that no entity from the government or Government Press Office had visited Levine in the hospital as of his visit. Golan and Kariv vowed to combat the violence in the West Bank, blaming the current government for the lack of action.
