Again a glitch, again News 13: A caption in the main edition of the company accused – at least in the way it was worded – Prime Minister Netanyahu of killing women and children during the military operation in Gaza.
The item – itself legitimate, discussing the price innocent people in Gaza pay for the targeted assassinations – was accompanied by a "writer" with the text "Prime Minister's Approval: Women and Children Killed in Night Attack."
The photo sparked quite a few harsh reactions on social media. Communications Minister Shlomo Krei said: "When I spoke about a variety of opinions, I did not mean opening a branch of the BDS movement within an Israeli media channel. Soon, anyone who thinks that the Israeli public is interested in a branch of BDS is going to be alone. I will open the market to diversity and competition, the public will not be held captive by the existing channels, they will be captive to it, and the content accordingly."
Channel 13 News said in response: "The headline that appeared in the main edition was worded inappropriately and incorrectly and misleadingly. We apologize to our viewers."
