Likud party minister says he's boycotting news channel over Sde Teiman gang-rape leak

The communications minister of Israel's Likud party said on Thursday he will boycott interviews with television news channel, Channel 12, after they leaked a video of Israeli soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee. 

Channel 12 broadcast a leaked video of soldiers at Sde Teiman detention center gang-raping a Palestinian detainee last August, sparking international condemnation. 

Shlomo Karhi said he would boycott the channel until Channel 12 "issues a clear and public apology to Force 100 fighters and to the citizens of Israel for the smear campaign."
