Drucker demands: Receive Netanyahu's speech in advance – and then decide whether to broadcast

The article describes the proposal of Channel 13 commentator Raviv Drucker, according to which Israeli television networks would be required to receive in advance the transcript of Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech at the UN, and after reviewing it, decide whether to broadcast it live. The article presents the proposal as unprecedented and delusional political censorship, while emphasizing the diplomatic importance of the speech and the proposal's disregard for its official status.

The article on Channel 14 reports on the proposal of Channel 13 commentator Raviv Drucker, according to which Israeli television networks would be required to receive in advance the transcript of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, and after reviewing it, decide whether it has value justifying a live broadcast. The article presents the proposal as unprecedented and delusional political censorship, while emphasizing that this is the Prime Minister's official speech at one of the world's central political, security, and diplomatic platforms, where the country's clear positions on existential issues such as the Iranian nuclear program, the regional campaign, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are presented. The article notes that Drucker justified his proposal by fear that the speech, delivered about a month before the elections in Israel, would be exploited by Netanyahu for political and propaganda purposes. However, the article argues that the proposal completely ignores the nature of the event and its strategic importance, and presents an absurd gap between the international expectation for the speech and the proposal for prior censorship in Israel. The article includes a tweet by Eli Zippori criticizing Drucker and calling Channel 13 a "propaganda channel in the service of the prosecution."
