Likud MK Hanoch Milwidsky says he phoned Dani Elgarat to apologize for accusing him of exploiting the plight of his brother Itzik who is being held hostage in Gaza for political gain yesterday.

Speaking to Kan radio, Milwidsky says he told Elgarat that despite their disagreements, “it wasn’t right for me to say those things at all, and definitely not live [on TV].”

“I really hope to see his brother in Israel as soon as possible. And he accepted it and he apologized also for things he said and we ended the conversation with hopes for better days,” the lawmaker added.
