Israeli Prime Minister's press secretary Ziv Agmon resigns amid criticism directed at him due to his harsh statements.
This was reported by "The Times of Israel" publication.
According to the information, the reason for Agmon's resignation was his racist remarks about Mizrahi Jews and the emergence of critical statements about the Prime Minister.
Ziv Agmon stated that the released quotes are true, but taken out of context:
"These expressions were taken from private conversations and most were voiced before I started the position. The aim is to campaign against me and harm the Prime Minister," he said.
He also stated that these views do not reflect his values and denied accusations of racism.
Agmon added that in light of the ongoing public discussions, he considers it inappropriate to continue in his position and decided to resign.//Milli.az
