The chairman of the "Democrats" party, Yair Golan, was interviewed by "Meet the Press." In the interview, Golan said that he would fire the chief of staff, "Zini will go home," and "Goffman will face the ultimate test." When asked about his intention to close Channel 14, he said: "Channel 14 is not a media channel.".
Minister of Communications Shlomo Kari responded to the comments: "Yair Golan is facing reality: watching with tearful eyes from the opposition benches, together with his Yisra-Bluff friends, how Israel continues to gallop forward and establish its position, with God's help, as a Jewish and democratic power.".
"With a free and diverse media market in the stable and confident hands of Prime Minister Netanyahu.".
