Sunday from his work at the paper.  The announcement of his firing was
presented to him after on last Tuesday he acted as Head of desk ( Editor of
the news section from that day). The headline that Rapaport gave to an
article of Mordechai Galit, "Sharon doesn't speak the truth," awakened the
anger of Yideot Ahronot editor Moshe Vardi. Officially Rapaport was
presented from the man power manager of the paper that the reason for the
firing was cuts.
