Likud campaign presenter fired for video at soldiers’ graves

Avishai Ivri, a journalist and right-wing pundit turned Likud campaign presenter, has been fired from his position within the ruling party after a video last month in which he claimed that if Netanyahu’s rival Benny Gantz becomes premier there will be “hundreds” killed, while using an image of a military graveyard as background.

Ivri had been placed on leave after the incident, but Channel 13 reports that he has now been fired.
