Otzma Yehudit MK accuses Kan of libel in report on at-risk teen girls
Otzma Yehudit MK Almog Cohen denies an earlier Kan report that he asked at-risk teen girls about their relationships with Arabs during a visit to a treatment center, saying the reporter “is attempting to paint me as a backwards racist” and threatening to sue her and the network for libel.
“It never happened,” Cohen says. “It’s all figments of the imagination of the reporter.” He asserts that the journalist “cut out the detailed response sent to her.”
