Calls before downloading to print.

In the following months the telephone connection faded a little, and in the months of May-July there were about eight calls recorded on average per month.

Then, throughout most of 2016 there were about five monthly calls between the two.



However, there were also exceptional days.

For example, on February 17, 2016, the two spoke no less than three times at different times of the day.

Sha'ar Yisrael the next day included a prominent article entitled "Why did the police 'bury' a complaint against Mani Naftali for sexual harassment and indecent act?".

On March 1 of that year, Netanyahu and Regev spoke twice in the evening.

The next day, a prominent news item appeared on Sha'ar Yisrael today about the former head of the household at the official residence, entitled: The complainant about sexual harassment confronted Manny Naftali.



On June 6, 2016, an interview with French businessman Arno Mimran was published on Channel 10.

That morning, Netanyahu confirmed that Mimran had donated $ 40,000 to his campaign, but in a conversation published in the evening, Mimran claimed that in practice the amount was much higher: $ 170,000.

Netanyahu spoke with Regev that day at eight in the morning, and shortly after ten o'clock in the evening.

The day after the main headline in the freebie was a quote from Netanyahu's attorney, Adv. David Shimron: “Mimran's claims will be refuted;

The air will come out of the balloon. "

A month later, on July 26, a state memorial service was held for the victims of Tzuk Eitan, during which bereaved parents erupted at Netanyahu.

The prime minister spoke with Regev that afternoon, and then two more times around 10 p.m.

The next day, while the rest of the front page of the printed newspapers highlighted the protests of the bereaved parents, in Israel today they chose a main picture of Netanyahu giving a speech, along with the headline referring to his response to accusations about the lack of preparedness for the tunnel threat:

The parents' protest was mentioned in a small reference that was worded: Several bereaved parents stormed the Prime Minister's Office.



On November 17, 2016, the "source" investigation into the submarine affair was published. On the same day, Netanyahu and Regev spoke three times in the evening. Before that, in Israel today, Netanyahu's response to the allegations was emphasized in the headline: "Prime Minister: Purchase of submarines - legally, according to IDF needs."

    1/106 March 2015

    The Prime Minister was first questioned in the Alps cases on January 2, 2017. At that time, the suspicions concerned only the 1000 case, which was still referred to as the "gift case".

    On that day, Netanyahu spoke with Regev only once, and the next day the last conversation took place between the two, according to details.

    From that day until Regev left the post, at the end of April, no conversation was recorded between the two.

    "Talks from time to time with various media people."

    Adv. Ben Meir, who filed the Freedom of Information Petition with Raviv Drucker, asked the Central Election Commission in the 2015 election to determine that the distribution of Israeli issues today constitutes prohibited election propaganda in favor of Netanyahu. The request was first rejected by the then Central Election Commission Judge Salim Jubran.

    He then appealed to the High Court - but in a hearing the judges sharply criticized the petition, and Ben Meir agreed to delete it.



    In response to the publication of the data, Ben Meir said: "The details of the talks prove two things - the first is that Israel today is not a newspaper and never was a newspaper. A propaganda tool in the service of Netanyahu, which is the largest offense to fund parties imaginable.

    The second thing is that Netanyahu is not interested in anything (and never is interested) except for his image and what they will write or broadcast about him.

    That is why he is now facing a criminal trial, and in my opinion he also had to stand trial for his ties with Israel today. "

    Prime Minister's Environment: "Selective Enforcement and the Invention of a Fictitious Standard"

    The prime minister's entourage responded that "the publication only proves Prime Minister Netanyahu's claim that the talks with Walla! NEWS were much more acceptable and less than his talks with other media outlets. Great news and there have been countless conversations with Noni Mozes. "



    "The fact that they did not examine this proves that it is a matter of selective enforcement and the invention of a fictitious standard regarding what is acceptable or what is unusual, without examining the standard that exists with other politicians," they added.

    Two of the cases in which Netanyahu is currently accused deal with his relationship with the media and his attempt to influence, ostensibly, his coverage.

    Center portfolio in 2000 are conversations he had with Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Noni Mozes, and allegedly offered Moses Netanyahu improve the coverage in Yedioth Ahronoth for promoting legislation to limit the proliferation of Israel today.



    Although the indictment did not attribute Netanyahu intention to complete the transaction bribes, is accused of violating Emunim because he conducted the contacts with Mozes, ostensibly to influence his coverage at least during the 2015 election period. In addition, in the 4000 case, Netanyahu is accused of allegedly providing hundreds of millions of shekels in regulatory benefits to businessman Shaul Alovich, in exchange for skewing coverage on the Walla! NEWS website.
