Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo, after being exposed in a falsehood, has now called for an investigation into Shin Bet director David Zini, according to a report. The demand follows Bardugo's earlier criticism of Zini over the leak affair, which the current message frames as Bardugo's own credibility being undermined.
The current report, flagged by a single source, frames commentator Yaakov Bardugo's latest call for a probe into Shin Bet chief David Zini as following Bardugo's own exposure in a falsehood. The source text reads: 'After being caught in a lie: Bardugo calls to investigate Zini as well — to the full article.' This positions Bardugo's demand as a defensive countermove after his own credibility was compromised.
Background: as The Zioneer reported, Bardugo has previously accused Zini of inaction on incitement and a security leak (June 17) and alleged that senior Shin Bet officials are blocking a leak investigation (June 29). Right-wing Channel 14 also called for a probe of Zini earlier today (June 30). The current report, however, introduces a new twist — Bardugo's alleged falsehood — which the full article (linked but unread) likely details. No further information on the falsehood or the article's contents is available from this batch.
