The controversy swells in France following a muscular interview between journalist Mohamed Kaci and the Israeli army spokesperson Olivier Rafowicz. The TV5monde channel wanted to speak in a press release.
A few days ago, Mohamed Kaci, journalist for TV5monde, received duplex Olivier Rafowicz, spokesperson for the Israeli army.
The exchange quickly degenerated and the tone rose between the two men when the journalist asked: “Are you going to take into account now, the humanitarian emergency in the Palestinian enclave? “To which the soldier replied:” Do you take the State of Israel for a state that does not know the rules of democracy and international law? “
“So you behave like Hamas. Is that what you tell me tonight? “, Then revived Mohamed Kaci. “You now behave not as a journalist, but as someone who takes a political position. I ask you a bit of respect please! What you tell me is an attack on the State of Israel and Tsahal, “said the Israeli official.
The TV5monde journalist then put an end to the maintenance.
TV5MONDE published a statement on Monday, November 20, in which the chain reminds us in particular to order its journalist Mohamed Kaci. “The TV5MONDE Information Directorate still redoubles vigilance on its antennas and digital media and will take all the necessary measures to ensure it in a context of great tension,” it was said.
