RAMGate as a distraction? Josh Breiner's post that angered Ariel Segal

Journalist Ariel Segal attacked Haaretz reporter Josh Breiner after Breiner claimed that the right-wing campaign surrounding the 'RAMGate' affair was intended to delegitimize a possible government led by Gadi Eisenkot with the support of the Arab parties. Segal accused Breiner of ignoring the criminal suspicions and the issue of election integrity.

Journalist Ariel Segal sharply attacked Haaretz crime reporter Josh Breiner following a post Breiner published on X. In the post, Breiner claimed that the purpose of the right-wing campaign surrounding the 'RAMGate' affair is to delegitimize a possible government led by Gadi Eisenkot, which would rely on the support of the Arab parties. Segal responded by quoting Breiner's words and wrote: 'The crime reporter doesn't care about criminal offenses, doesn't care about election integrity, doesn't care about anti-Zionist, nationalist, and communist Arab parties.' The confrontation unfolds against the backdrop of the 'RAMGate' affair, which includes suspicions of election bribery. The article reports on the clash between two interpretations: one sees the affair as an attempt to distract from the political struggle, and the other argues that the political discussion cannot be separated from the criminal suspicions.
