Photojournalist Attacked by Settlers in the West Bank Reacts to Netanyahu
Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, who was attacked by settlers during the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, said she was hurt by Prime Minister Netanyahu characterizing the attack as 'alleged.'
Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, whose spine was fractured after being attacked by a masked group wielding sticks while covering the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank village of Abu Falah, stated that she was shocked and felt insulted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describing the attack as alleged.
Speaking to the Associated Press while receiving treatment at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, Levine emphasized that it was distressing for the prime minister to use this expression when all the evidence was on the table. Noting that she has worked in the region for over 40 years, Levine stated that she avoided a greater catastrophe thanks to her protective vest and helmet.
