Raviv Drucker is Channel 13's lead investigative journalist and one of the government's most persistent media critics.
The Haredi media, for the most part, ignored the investigation into Motti Babchik for some reason. HaPragud did not.
Translated from Hebrew"Tens of thousands of inquiries from the public," doesn't anyone have a driver who connects him to reality? "Contrary to the statesmanlike way I conducted myself," can someone in a white coat already go over to him and help him? He wanted to put handcuffs on Gantz and Lapid on charges of "treason."

Translated from HebrewFortunately, you are not sharp as a liar either. How could I have begged you to host with me, to save my low ratings, when I had not yet hosted a program at that time?? And what is happening now with your fabulous ratings? You accused Avi Himi of sexual offenses, firmly claimed that there had been no prior relationship between Himi and Hila Yehezkel, and refused to wait 24 hours before trying to ruin his life. If you had been a journalist and had waited, you would quickly have been exposed to evidence that proved exactly what prior relationship they had. Indeed, I sat down with you for coffee at the request of the news CEO, and it really was an unforgettable meeting, in which I understood many of the crazy things happening on your screen.

Translated from HebrewWinter rushed to support Netanyahu, but an enticing offer from Eisenkot (Defense Minister?) may tip the scales. It is not for nothing that Netanyahu suspects Winter has the potential to do something like that; who knows better than him how to identify people who say one thing and do something completely different.

Translated from HebrewThe direct contact between Israel and Hamas ahead of the hostage deal in January 2025: on one side of the phone - senior Israeli officials, on the other side - senior Hamas officials.
Translated from HebrewAnother angle on @BenCaspit's story from yesterday - the person Netanyahu sends on this extremely sensitive mission is Shlomi Fogel. The relationship between the two, it turns out, is extremely intimate. The year is 2014, in the midst of contacts concerning the purchase of ships from Germany. Here are some facts that are not in dispute: 1. Shlomi Fogel knew from an early stage that David Shimron represented Miki Ganor and the German shipyard ThyssenKrupp. In fact, he was negotiating with them for one of the ships to be built at his facility, at Israel Shipyards, in the country. 2. Fogel was very angry that it was decided that no ship would be built here. All of them would be built at the shipyard in Kiel, Germany. He expressed that anger in a rare interview he gave to Makor on the matter. 3. If it were proven that Fogel had told Netanyahu at that time, to whom he was so close, that Shimron represented the German shipyard's representative, Netanyahu would at a minimum have been questioned under caution in the affair. It is likely he would even have faced an indictment. Olmert was convicted for less than that in the Investment Center affair and the case involving attorney Uri Messer. 4. At some point Fogel invited Netanyahu to visit his shipyard and spoke to him proudly about the important Israeli business. 5. Netanyahu always claimed that he did not know Shimron represented Ganor until the publication in November 2016. Fogel claimed that he never told Netanyahu that his cousin and the person who manages his money in a blind trust represented the German shipyard's representative. All these, as stated, are undisputed facts, and now the million-dollar question - what are the chances that Fogel, who is so close to Netanyahu that he sends him to talks with a senior Hamas official, behind the security establishment's back, did not tell Netanyahu, when he was terribly frustrated by the injustice done to him, that Shimron - his ultimate confidant at that time - was also involved in this deal? My common sense says - a flat zero.
Translated from HebrewChannel 13 at 7: Following @BenCaspit’s exposé, Nimrod Shefer was one of the members of the IDF delegation to Egypt who discovered that Netanyahu had opened a direct channel with a senior Hamas official behind their backs. We will speak with him and also expose a new and interesting layer in this story. How does Filber arrive at his numbers? Lior Shefer from Tel Aviv University will bring some interesting explanations about how the polls published on Channel 14 are conducted. Ofer Winter and Yosef Haddad attacked me over my use of “pet Arab” toward Haddad. I loved answering. @NoganNir @giltamary Uri Agoz, with a guest appearance by Reut Inbar. You’re invited.

Translated from HebrewChannel 13 at 19:00: Indeed, a celebration of democracy in Likud, and we will certainly celebrate the magnificent kick that May Golan, Idit Silman, Avi Dichter, Hanokh Milwidsky, and everyone who sold every ounce of independence just to get elected received, and discovered that it wasn't enough. @SuleimanMas1 @TaliaSasson @giltamary Michael Shemesh and Eran Kamin
Translated from HebrewAgain, as in the story with the deadly explosive device, the claim of the prime minister and the army is that Hezbollah violated the ceasefire. Well, the sequence of events is that Israel is operating on the Ali Taher Ridge and laying siege to Hezbollah terrorists in order to eliminate them. Hezbollah sees this as a violation of the ceasefire and responds with an explosive drone. The military activity may be entirely justified, but whoever decided on it understood very well that there was a chance it would cause Hezbollah to respond.
