A Likud-affiliated the source, YoniNews Likud, accused Channels 12 and 13 of not airing Prime Minister Netanyahu's press conference following the historic framework agreement with Lebanon on Saturday, and then complaining that the prime minister does not speak to the public.
The accusation, posted on Sunday evening, references Saturday's press conference by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the U.S.-brokered framework agreement with Lebanon. The Likud-affiliated a monitored channel Likud stated that Israeli broadcasters Channels 12 and 13 did not broadcast the event, yet subsequently complain that Netanyahu avoids speaking to the public. This follows a broader critique from right-wing commentators regarding media coverage of the prime minister; on June 27, journalist Tamir Mor of Channel 14 similarly questioned why rival networks were not airing Netanyahu's Q&A with reporters. The accusation has not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
