The Zioneer's the source published a post on Saturday commenting on the uptake of Haaretz's voluntary retirement plan. According to the post, 35 employees — 19 journalists and editors and 16 administrative staff — have accepted the offer and will be replaced by artificial intelligence. The post expressed skepticism about the low number, suggesting that in the next round of layoffs in March, the compensation would be lower. The post concluded with a play on Haaretz's slogan: 'Haaretz. For people with artificial intelligence.' Haaretz had earlier this month offered voluntary retirement to all employees, as The Zioneer reported on July 6.
