Meretz MK Michal Rozin calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to suspend a top aide following sexual assault allegations.
Rozin says that David Keyes, Netanyahu’s spokesman to the foreign media, can no longer represent Israel to the world. She says Netanyahu’s silence thus far could also be interpreted as tolerance of the alleged acts.
According to a Times of Israel investigation published yesterday, at least 12 women have accused Keyes of overly aggressive advances and inappropriate behavior.
Julia Salazar, a candidate for New York’s State Senate, accuses Keyes of sexually assaulting her five years ago. Others have since come forward. Wall Street Journal reporter Shayndi Raice tweeted she too had a “terrible encounter” with Keyes. She described someone who had “absolutely no conception of the word ‘no.'”
So far there has been no response from the prime minister or his office. However, in response to the allegations, Keyes told The Times of Israel yesterday that “all of the accusations are deeply misleading and many of them are categorically false.”
