Likud Spokesman Guy Levy Interrupts Elisha Medan Interview Outside Knesset

Likud spokesman Guy Levy interrupted an interview with Likud MK Elisha Medan outside the Knesset in Jerusalem on Sunday, November 15. Levy entered the camera frame after the journalist asked about forming a unity government. The interview took place at the tent Medan had established opposite the Knesset to call for unity. Levy challenged the question, asking the journalist, “Seriously, are these the questions you ask him?” The journalist replied that it was acceptable to ask uncomfortable questions. Footage of the interruption was posted on Sunday afternoon. Medan had announced on Saturday, November 14, that he would travel to Jerusalem and establish a tent near the Knesset. He said he intended to remain there day and night, including in cold and rainy weather, to give expression to calls for unity he had received from the public. In a separate interview published on Sunday before the interruption, Medan described the initiative as his personal choice and rejected suggestions that he was anyone’s political tool. He reaffirmed his Likud membership, right-wing identification and support for Benjamin Netanyahu, while inviting representatives of the change bloc to visit and talk. Medan acknowledged deep mistrust between the political camps and said he was willing to compromise for unity. He said he was not conducting coalition negotiations himself and intended to combine his stay at the tent with his Knesset work.
