The media defeated Netanyahu in the battle for the private jet, but in the war for consciousness he won as usual

Instead of dealing with the economic catastrophe that will rehabilitate us if the state goes into quarantine for several weeks, the media has mainly dealt with Netanyahu's private jet.

The spin worked.

But then something happened for the first time in all the years of Netanyahu's rule - the established and conservative media announced that they were not cooperating

In the video: The Prime Minister's statement on the agreement with the United Arab Emirates (Editing: Itai Amram)

The aggravation of the morbidity situation in Israel has made the most serious crisis that Benjamin Netanyahu has had to deal with during his years of rule even more complicated.

There is nothing more critical on the agenda.

One really does not need to be a veteran activist in the popular movement "Just Not Bibi" to mark the prime minister as responsible for the entanglement of the corona crisis.

Public, media and even intra-party pressure was closing in on him, and in response he decided to fly to the US ceremony in a private jet with his wife and two sons - separately from the official delegation and media.

It was a moment of human, moral and mental depression even for our great cynics. The fact that crimes of corruption, fraud and breach of trust cast a shadow over his every step, sought to isolate himself from the common people (within the rubric of "common people" this time also entered MKs and ministers). Direct continuation of the black screen at the entrance to the Prime Minister's residence To the yard with nylons on the shoes and more evidence of the sense of disconnection from the public that emerges from the first family.

And somehow, this time it seems too exaggerated, too calculated.

This was no longer a psychosis of the hygiene of a family that feels elevated from a people.

It was a spin.

Another spin.

Instead of talking about becoming the country that is facing the worst crisis in the world with the corona crisis, we talked about how many planes are leaving for the ceremony.

Instead of reporting that Netanyahu's actual trip to the ceremony was dubious, most of the reference was to a technical matter, annoying as it may be.

Reminder: The United Arab Emirates' delegation to Washington is headed by Foreign Minister Abdullah Ben-Zeid (the regent's brother).

Apparently even in Abu Dhabi understand that it is not a matter of abandoning the country in a time of health and economic uncertainty.

So what, shall we send the Foreign Minister?

The replacement prime minister?

come on.

Netanyahu will not miss the opportunity for a historic photo on the White House lawn, even if it means abandoning the country during one of the most serious crises in its history and postponing a closure for 10 days.

Again talking about his plane instead of his inability to conduct the battle against the Corona.

Thus, instead of dealing with the economic catastrophe that will rehabilitate us to the extent that the state goes into closure for several weeks, the media has mainly dealt with Netanyahu's private jet.

The spin worked.

Netanyahu's entourage prefers to be talked about as a hedonist (one can always blame "that" and "that") rather than as a bad manager who is unable to deal with an epidemic that even in Thailand has managed to overcome.

Then something happened that did not happen during all the years of Netanyahu's rule - the established and conservative media announced that it was not cooperating.

The three major TV channels - 11, 12 and 13 - have announced they will not be joining the tour.

In a long post on her Facebook page, Dana Weiss, the veteran News 12 political correspondent, revealed how important this trip is for every journalist, and for her personally as well - but also simply explained that water came to disgust.

The lack of transparency, the compartmentalization of the media from the proximity of the prime minister and the very treatment of the members of the delegation as lepers who could infect the supreme leader in Corona - are crossing the border.

The fact that the three major channels decided to boycott the trip to the historic ceremony and settle for reports from regular US ambassadors was a statement of intent that comes after long months of surrendering to the media line leaving Balfour. No more.

Half a day after the media decision, And rightly so. The private plane has been canceled. Sarah and the children will also join. One can only imagine what happened at the Prime Minister's residence in the hours before the decision was made.

Apparently if there had been a recording of things we would have been content with the caption "(shouts)".

And here, we were like dreamers, the local media managed to make a difference in the plans of a prime minister who incites and slams them at every opportunity.

It turns out that journalists in Israel still have some power.

Tosha.

But even though it is a big victory, which will allow the channels to withdraw from the announcement of the flight boycott, it is still a victory in a small and almost insignificant battle in the war for the local consciousness. Here, again, talk about Bibi's plane instead of his inability to conduct the battle against the Corona. And maybe, just maybe, the media will be able to take advantage of the momentum from the small victory to also win the battle over the narrative of the coming days. Will the channels frame the royal visit to the US within the right context, or will they let the prime minister's spokespersons take control of the headlines and discourse? Signing a peace agreement is always a historic thing, but when we are in the process of turning the Israeli economy into history, the fact that the prime minister will not be in Israel to manage the crisis is the real headline.On

the bottom line, he is a criminal defendant His clear interests in appointing senior officials (and running the country in general) have led the country to an unprecedented crisis in which "normalization of relations" with the emirates is dwarfed, probably in the short term. That only five months ago the country went into a hysterical closure that was unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Now the country is facing another closure. And to them. People are going to lose their livelihood in this quarantine, people are going to die in this quarantine, and not just from Corona. These people, and the citizens of Israel in general, deserve a media that is able to ask the difficult questions. And then the first question: how is it that one who corrupts alone dares? How dare he, for God's sake?
