Yarden Bibas commemorates murdered family amid criticism of Raymond Johansen

Yarden Bibas recently held a memorial at the graves of his wife, Shiri, and their two children, Ariel and Kfir, marking what would have been his son Ariel's seventh birthday. According to the IDF, the family was murdered by their kidnappers while in captivity in the Gaza Strip in November 2023.

Concurrently, the Center Against Antisemitism has criticized a Norwegian politician, Raymond Johansen, following an interview on NRK. The center alleges that Johansen used his airtime to make controversial and unverified claims regarding Israel's military actions in Gaza, such as the intentional bombing of medical supplies. The critique notes that Johansen failed to mention Hamas during the interview and did not address the presence of weapons in humanitarian aid shipments or the use of facilities by terrorist organizations.
