Previously, despite the suspicions against him, Einhorn participated in a ceremony at the Israeli Embassy in the United States in the presence of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana. According to a report by Channel 13 News, he also assisted Defense Minister Israel Katz in the Likud primaries. All the details in the exposé by @JoshBreiner and me now in Haaretz
Translated from HebrewHaaretz exposé: Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar invited Einhorn, who is suspected in the Qatargate affairs and the document leak, to the embassy inauguration ceremony in Ljubljana. Einhorn was previously defined by police as a "fugitive criminal" and there is an arrest warrant against him in Israel over the suspicions against him. Sa'ar's office said in response that "Jisrael Einhorn has contributed and continues to contribute to Israel-Slovenia relations and was indeed invited to the embassy opening event." According to a source, he is involved in bringing relations between the countries closer. Recently, the prosecution suspended an indictment against Einhorn, Jonatan Urich and Ofer Golan for harassing state witness Shlomo Filber, because they have been unable to bring Einhorn to trial.
Translated from HebrewRegarding Netanyahu's denial, I want to remind you that when we exposed Qatargate in November 24 in Haaretz, the answers we received were “fake news” today everyone knows
Translated from HebrewState commission of inquiry, now
Translated from HebrewIn his attempt to evade responsibility for the massacre, Netanyahu published a new initiative by his supporters in which they made the material he submitted to the State Comptroller accessible. I took a look at it. All week he said - if only they had woken me up in time, everything would have been different. If so, why is it only at 9:55, three and a half hours after they woke him, that he issues operational directives to hermetically seal the border? Three hours after the massacre and the surprise began, and only then one of the most important directives is issued. And this is of course based on the information he himself published to the public and is now made conveniently accessible for reading. This information is also consistent with the report published this morning by @gilicohen10 that Netanyahu and the IDF chief spoke for the first time only after 9:00.
Translated from HebrewAmir Sade, one of the defendants in the case, sent warning letters to Sara Netanyahu and Channel 14, among other things based on the expert opinion in the case detailed here, as well as statements by the court throughout the detention proceedings and the criminal proceedings regarding the likelihood of conviction for terrorism and arson. “According to the opinion of the state’s experts, these are standard marine distress signal flares and not “bombs”; they contain no phosphorus, and a state-appointed expert testified that the likelihood of causing a fire in the circumstances of the incident is “very remote,” and the court summarized that the probability “approaches zero.” It was written in the warning letter sent by Gonen Ben Yitzhak, who also represents Sade in the criminal case on behalf of the protest detainees’ defense network.
Translated from HebrewThe reason Netanyahu says, late at night, in his own voice on Instagram, that there was no betrayal on 7.10 is that his circle and his people fueled this sentiment, and as usual he distances himself from Yair Netanyahu through Karei and Gottlieb all the way to Avi Gross—the businessman behind his propaganda ventures—they all echoed the lie that threatens to tear us apart from within
Translated from HebrewShe disavowed the song “Capital, Government, Underworld.” According to her, there is no capital and, of course, no government whatsoever. But that is precisely what struck me most: that is what she thought about the protesters’ chant, “The country is burning and Sara is getting a haircut.” “So what?” That is her attitude toward the situation we were in in March ’23, when the regime-overhaul legislation tore the people apart. “It’s okay, the country is burning because you are setting it on fire.” That is the universe in which she and the prime minister live. “So what?”
Translated from HebrewShe also says, twice, vote Likud - if you want to live. Exactly like that.
Translated from HebrewI watched Sara Netanyahu’s interview. She says that bombs containing phosphorus were fired at her house. Here are the facts from the indictment in the case: “marine distress flares.” It contains magnesium and a mixture of gunpowder to create an effect of heat, light, sound, and smoke. As for the charge concerning arson—the most serious offense with which the protest activists who fired the flares are charged—a citizen, the owner of a fireworks company, recently testified before the court; the police had defined him as an expert in this type of fireworks. This, and based on his opinion, was the basis for the indictment. This is the dialogue between Judge Benjo and the expert: The judge: “Let’s suppose I’m some kind of reckless, careless person, and I want to set off fireworks here at all the judges. And I go up onto the roof, and I send this (the flare, B.P.) here in the city, in the city itself, because I’m happy. A happy boy, a young man wants to celebrate, he fires it” The witness: “If it doesn’t come down burning onto an area that is flammable, then they will see a red dot moving with the wind. Nothing will happen” This dialogue continued. The judge did not give up Judge Benjo: “I’ll ask you something else. If I now want to set a fire and I fire such a flare at them, what are the chances that I will succeed in my plot?” The witness: “If you are standing at a reasonable distance, not in a direct direction. If it is not directed straight into a closed room, so that it doesn’t fly out of the room, the chances are extremely slim” Judge Benjo: “There’s a house there, there’s a barn there, I want to harm this person and I fire” The witness: “There’s a very slim chance it will reach there. You need to be sure; with so many calculations you need to be an AI genius, calculate the wind at what height, at exactly what firing angle, and when you pull this, your hand will go down, up”
Translated from HebrewFollowing the publication in Haaretz and the attached post that hints at the betrayal theory, Noam Tibon is suing Avi Gross for 75,000 shekels, the businessman who founded the company that works with the Likud campaign. Last week we published a host of statements by the businessman, including statements against hostage families and protest activists, and he also echoes the betrayal theory from within in the context of the October 7 massacre. Disclosure: Noam’s son, Amir, is my friend and we work together
Translated from HebrewThe conversation from Grinzaig’s exposé reminded me how I didn’t eat at all until 9.10, both because there was no food and because I had no appetite. Attached are two things I ate on 12.10.23. And even that was relatively rich after we had had no combat rations and no food at all for several days.
Translated from HebrewThis is the second propaganda venture in the election campaign exposed by Haaretz. A private individual is behind it, and it is trying to appear authentic. All the details are now in Haaretz
Translated from HebrewA project supporting Netanyahu promoted a secret Likud campaign — which was removed after Haaretz reached out. The “I’m with Bibi” website directed users to a Likud propaganda site, behind which stands a businessman who distributed merchandise supporting Meir Kahane. The party claimed the initiative was private, but content creators identified with the Likud campaign wore hats from the project bearing an illustration of two bees. This is the second propaganda project backed by a private individual in this election campaign that @avischarf and I are exposing. Active Info researchers located the websites. Immediately after Haaretz contacted them for a response, the Likud propaganda-apps website was removed; it was still secret and under construction at that point (we have copies, of course), as was the mention of the app on the project’s website. In addition, the option to purchase hats from the private project was removed, and Kahane merchandise was removed from the page of the person behind the project. Everything is documented
Translated from HebrewPublication by @lizarozovsky and me: Likud distributed a poll about incorporating Channel 9 journalists into its ranks, after Netanyahu was interviewed there. The poll was distributed via Next Data, a company founded by people from Channel 14 and exposed in Haaretz, and the interview with journalist Boris Blodobrovsky was conducted in Likud’s campaign studios in Petah Tikva. On air, the channel condemned the poll and said that “the names of the channel’s journalists were used for political purposes.” The CEO also denied that the journalists mentioned in the poll were discussing joining the Likud list.
Translated from HebrewYesterday the major general warns that any match could set everything ablaze, today he sends soldiers to secure the political arm of the Hilltop Youth, which is trying to set the area ablaze for an election campaign
Translated from HebrewThe expression “went on a trip” that the army uses is, of course, a capitulation to the terminology of the settlers who run the army
Translated from HebrewThe transport minister may be abroad, but if anyone is looking for the prime minister, while Israel's gateway in and out is collapsing, he is not far from there, at NVP company's studios in Petah Tikva, which are used by the Likud campaign. He was there yesterday too
