Journalist Raviv Drucker Claims Police Investigation is Politically Motivated

Israeli investigative journalist Raviv Drucker has described his experience being questioned by police, alleging the investigation is a politically motivated attempt to "stitch him up." Drucker was summoned by the traffic police department following complaints filed by a Likud attorney and a social media personality, accusing him of using a mobile phone while driving during a broadcast. The journalist recounted the interrogation, stating that the investigating officer was insistent on his physical presence, rejecting his request to submit a report remotely. Drucker informed the officers that he would not cooperate with what he perceived as a "media spin," expressing disappointment that the police were focusing on a minor traffic infraction rather than his investigative report on Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu.

During the broadcast, Drucker highlighted that information about his interrogation was already being leaked to Channel 14 while he was still in the room. He concluded his segment with a sarcastic legal threat, displaying images of politicians, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, without seatbelts, and ministers like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Miri Regev, while driving. Drucker questioned why these politicians were not similarly summoned for investigation, reiterating his claim that a case was being fabricated against him and demanding that the investigators themselves be probed.
