TV host Galit Gutman was forced to apologize after making a harsh statement against Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jews during a Channel 12 morning show on Friday. “I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart if I offended an entire sector,” Gutman wrote on her Instagram account over the weekend.
“I love the State of Israel, and out of concern for its future, I have strong criticism of the representatives of the ultra-Orthodox sector in the Knesset. The words were said during a discussion about the government’s budget and the property tax fund. But I have no intention of harming the sector as a whole. I apologize to anyone who was hurt by these words,” she said.
