Since the outbreak of the corona, it has increasingly spoken out against the former prime minister's conduct.

Presumably, this fact did not go unnoticed by the owners of the newspaper, Miriam Adelson, when she approved Dagon's offer to take on this central role.

The revolution continues on the administrative avenue of "Israel Today": after the removal of Boaz Bismuth from his post, and then also the termination of Yad Yemino's work for the newspaper - Ariel Schmidberg, the newspaper turned to veteran sports channel editor Uri Dagon and now talks are underway between the two.

The 48-year-old Dagon is considered one of the most senior and veteran in the sports channel.

He has been editing the channel's website since 2008, after replacing former editor Alon Idan.

He began his journalistic career at Maariv in the late 1990s, and also edited the NRG sports section before moving to edit the channel's website.

Dagon is considered right-wing and has relatively conservative views.

In the past, he supported Netanyahu, but in recent years, certainly since the outbreak of the corona, he has increasingly spoken out against the former prime minister's conduct.

In 2020, he was even attacked head-on by the Netanyahu family, when he criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for a video in which he wished success to the players of the Israeli national football team, and called him a "bastard."

Yair Netanyahu, his son, wrote afterwards that "Dagon regularly tweets terrible insults towards the right and the prime minister, and has long since turned his channel that is supposed to deal with sports and be apolitical, into an extreme left-wing propaganda channel no less than Al-Jazeera 12."

Netanyahu also called on his followers to stop paying for the channel's sports packages and remove them.

Presumably, this detail did not go unnoticed by the owners of the newspaper, Miriam Adelson, when she approved Dagon's proposal to take on this central role.

Sources in the newspaper confirm today to Walla!

Brenze that further changes are on the agenda in the newspaper,

The end of the bibbon era

The owner of "Israel Today" also reads newspapers.

And this understanding was translated within weeks into an operational decision, according to which the newspaper needed a new systemic line, and a new head.

By the way, Netanyahu's entourage saw the decision as nothing less than a declaration of war, and even began calling the newspaper "Benton"

The dismissal of Israel's editor today in the last five years Boaz Bismuth testified that an era in the newspaper is over.

According to estimates in the media world, the contacts that did not mature into a plea deal between Netanyahu and the Attorney General are the ones that gave the booster an understanding that has long since permeated the newspaper's owner, Dr. Miriam Adelson - Netanyahu will not return. Someday, that Netanyahu would be able to agree with the outgoing adviser Mandelblit on a disgraceful deal that would allow him to form a coalition and return to Balfour, then it turned out that the chances were zero.

The owner of "Israel Today" also reads newspapers. By the way, in Netanyahu's environment, the decision was seen as nothing less than a declaration of war, and they even began to call the newspaper "Benton."

Israel Today then refused to comment officially.

A senior newspaper official told Walla!

Brenze said that "contrary to the vicious publications, Boaz Bismuth was not fired but decided to leave his position due to a sense of exhaustion. The Israeli with the largest number of readers and with a national and patriotic ideological line and not with a personal line. "
