Channel 13 investigative journalist Raviv Drucker broke his silence on Thursday, vehemently criticizing the police's conduct following a complaint filed against him by the Likud party. Drucker alleged that the police "framed him" for a minor offense, suggesting the investigation was politically motivated.
Speaking on his program, Drucker recounted an incident where he was questioned by traffic police in Jerusalem for allegedly holding a mobile phone while driving. He stated that he had already been summoned by another unit and expressed a feeling that the traffic police investigator was disappointed that their intended questioning was preempted. He noted that Channel 14 released a report about his questioning while it was still ongoing.
Drucker questioned why other public figures, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and former minister Miri Regev, were not similarly investigated for alleged offenses. He sarcastically suggested that the police should "investigate the investigators."
Drucker vowed to make a statement, referred to as 'Amid Chadad,' if a trial proceeds. He concluded by reiterating his belief that a case was fabricated against him, stating, "They framed me. Investigate the investigators."
