Community service: Thank you to Mrs. Netanyahu for making me watch the 'HaMakor' investigation

A personal column by Alon Halwa about the 'HaMakor' investigation broadcast on Channel 13. The author thanks Sara Netanyahu, who sent a warning letter before the broadcast, for turning the investigation into a 'must-watch program'. The investigation dealt with the Prime Minister's Office security coordinator Alon Halwa and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu. The author criticizes the structure of the investigation as presenting two main courses instead of an appetizer and a main course, and claims it could have been significantly shortened.

A personal column by Alon Halwa, describing how a legal warning letter sent by Sara Netanyahu through attorney Ariel Hor Nezri, threatening a million-shekel libel suit against Channel 13 and Raviv Drucker, turned the 'HaMakor' investigation into a must-watch program. The author claims the threat was intended to silence but achieved the opposite. The investigation included two parts: the first dealt with Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, who allegedly instructed to prioritize associates in project budgeting; the second dealt with Alon Halwa, the Prime Minister's Office security coordinator, and alleged misconduct including waste of public funds on security and protection. The author criticizes the investigation's structure, arguing that presenting two main courses of 45 minutes each created unnecessary burden on the viewer, and that each part could have been significantly shortened. He also raises the question of who will investigate Minister Eliyahu, when the minister responsible for the police is the head of his party.
