Rivka Drucker Slams Amit Segal, Accuses Him of Becoming Propaganda Tool
Prominent Israeli journalist Rivka Drucker has sharply criticized fellow Channel 12 commentator Amit Segal, accusing him of transforming into a propaganda mouthpiece. Speaking on the 'All In' podcast, Drucker expressed shock at Segal's perceived shift, stating, "I never imagined Amit Segal, the super talented, smart, and knowledgeable journalist, would become a propaganda body." Drucker further likened Segal's current persona to that of a "cult of personality propaganda channel, in the style of Channel 14."
The public feud between Drucker and Segal has intensified in recent years, with their latest dispute centering on Yair Golan's decision to rene. his promise to Einav Tzenge.er for a reserved spot on the Democrats party list. Drucker had previously attacked Golan's explanation for rene.ing the promise, calling it a "manipulation" and a "pathetic" attempt to avoid admitting he broke his word.
Amit Segal responded to Drucker's criticism by questioning his impartiality, pointing out Drucker's alleged silence when Naftali Bennett rene.ed a promise not to sit with left-wing parties. Segal suggested Drucker might be a hypocrite. Drucker retorted by questioning Segal's journalistic integrity, implying he had forgotten the essence of journalism by criticizing someone perceived to be on his own side.
