“Blow up the Supreme Court sessions”, “Your day is near”, “Do not obey”, “Uproot and break”, “Only by force!”, “A knife in the nation’s back”, “The house of the ‘Nukhbot [Hamas’ terrorists]” • The Fair Regulation Movement quotes dozens of statements by Channel 14 show hosts and pundits calling for disobedience to court rulings, spreading lies about judges, inciting and calling for violent actions • “A consistent policy adopted by the channel aimed at undermining the foundations of democratic rule in Israel in general and the public trust in the Supreme Court in particular”

Channel 14 has an opinion. Netanyahu’s opinion

For more than a year, Channel 14 presented a consistent line against the hostage deal: It blatantly attacked the supporters of the deal and the families of the hostages • In their News broadcasts, they tried to ignore the struggle to return the hostages and in their programs they compared the supporters of a deal to collaborators with Hamas • But as soon as Netanyahu changed his mind, the editors, anchors, commentators, and pundits followed suit • The moral flexibility of the channel’s staff proves once again: Channel 14 is a propaganda channel in the service of one politician

Journalist Raviv Drucker spoke at the Haaretz conference about the media’s self-censorship regarding events in the Gaza Strip, the emotional difficulty of addressing Palestinian victims after the massacre carried out by Hamas, and the challenge of obtaining interviewees from within the Strip • “During this war, the maximum level of left-leaning sentiment I allowed myself in panels was to support the hostages,” said journalist Chen Lieberman

The state refuses to respond to the petition and has been delaying the response for over four months • The method: wait until the deadline set by the court, then request an extension – and receive it • The Foreign Press Association petitioned against the ban on journalists entering the Gaza Strip since the start of the war • Initially, the state claimed that it was delaying because of the war, now – because of the ceasefire

The Minister of Communications announced that he does not recognize the Israeli court

The Supreme Court ordered an end to the paralysis imposed by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi on the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation’s board • In a confused and aggressive announcement, the minister responded that he would not honor the court order and that he was the only authorized interpreter of the law: “I determine that there is a constitutional impediment” • He also called on the Minister of Justice to harm the court and the Minister of Finance to harm the corporation • If he sticks to his decision, enforcement authorities will have to intervene • Prime Minister Netanyahu did not respond

The Foreign Press Association filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Justice demanding permission for journalistic coverage in the Gaza Strip, which has been closed for 15 months • According to the association, the lack of professional and reliable coverage infringes on freedom of the press and harms Israel’s security, as it leaves the media arena to Hamas supporters • The state is attempting to stall the proceedings.
