Likud MK Amit Helavi is demanding an urgent parliamentary hearing to discuss the arrest of Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Zvika Klein, who is being investigated for contact with a foreign agent. Helavi argues that it is important to verify that the arrest is based on criminal offenses and not a violation of press freedom. He calls on lawmakers to ensure that law enforcement is acting lawfully when investigating journalists. This comes as the Likud-led coalition is pushing for bills that critics say are aimed at curbing press freedom.
