Man Arrested After Alleged Assault on Israeli TV Crew in Belfast
Police charged a 30-year-old man after he threw a beer glass at an Israeli crew, cutting a cameraman’s head and halting filming.
- On Tuesday, an i24NEWS crew filming a documentary on European antisemitism was attacked in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter when a man threw a glass, cutting cameraman Nadav Abbas in the head.
- The incident occurred while reporter Yonatan Raveh and Abbas were interviewing people about antisemitism when a local man confronted them after realizing the crew was Israeli.
- Shouting "f*** Israel," the assailant attempted to snatch the crew's camera equipment; security personnel intervened, and the team retreated safely into a nearby bar.
- The PSNI charged a 30-year-old man with assault and weapons offences, who appeared in Belfast Magistrates Court on Thursday, August 13. DUP leader Gavin Robinson called the attack "absolutely no justification for violence or intimidation directed towards journalists because they are Israeli or Jewish."
- Reflecting on Belfast's political climate, Raveh observed a "big divide" regarding views on Israel, noting that Irish Catholics were generally anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, while Protestants were pro-Israel.
